I was fiddling around with Access and the ODBC driver this morning and
discovered that Access will not allow you update ODBC sources unless you pick
at least one field (up to ten) as a unique index.  Otherwise, it's read-only.

Hope this helps.

I've noticed this affect. Has anyone run traces of the connection, to
see if Access tries to determine the primary key from the backend? Does
this requirement go away if you (manually) set the 'relhaspkey' bool in
pg_class for the table?  I'd do all this testing myself, but my NT test
box got taken away (yeay! boo! I'm so conflicted...)
