Thread: migrating MSAccess to pgsql7.0 on RH 6.2 through odbc

You can try to use PgAdmin to upsize instead:

But maybe the error comes if you try to insert a record that is larger
than 8kb, which is the upper limit in 7.0.

7.1 doesn't have this limit.

There is no such error message in the 7.0 backend.  I think the ODBC
driver still believes that there is an 8K limit on query strings, and
it is helpfully preventing you from issuing the query :-(.  There isn't
anyone actively maintaining the ODBC driver right now, AFAIK, so I don't
know when that silliness will be fixed.
