linking access using ODBC driver with geometric data

Sorry for the seemingly novice posting, but I could find a solution for this
on the web so far...

I've been developing a database using postgresql (and loving it) and have
started running into problems with attempting to update records using the
ODBC connection. The tables that contain geometric fields are causing the
problems. Whenever I try to update a record that contains a geometric field
(any field) I get the following error message:

ODBC -- update on a linked table 'public_locatio ns' failed.
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type point: "(100),(100 )" (#7)

When I attempt to update the record without the quotes, as if typing 100,100
in the point field, I get the error:

"record has been changed... blah, blah, blah..."

Is there some trick to being able to use the geometric data types if you're
going to interface with Access using the ODBC driver?

Jeff.

I need to connect SQL Server 2000 to DB2 on z/OS through DB2 Connect 8. I can successfully connect and query data through a System DSN, but trying to link the server using this DSN and MSDASQL fails (can't seem to find the DB2 Connect server). I've also tried IBM's OLE/DB driver (IBMDADB2). Has anyone successfully linked to DB2 on a mainframe through DB2 Connect 8.x via either ODBC or OLE/DB drivers?

OS = WinXP & Win98. Access = A97 & AXP Q1) Where can I find the VFP ODBC driver at Microsoft. I have been working developing an app in Access that will link to some DOS FoxPro tables. I have been doing my development work in A97 but the folks have AXP at their site. As near as I can tell, the FoxPro driver has been discarded from A97 and replaced with ODBC in A2K onward

Hello, We are in the process of examining our current main application. We have to do some major changes and, in the process, are questionning/validating the use of MS Access as front-end. The application is relatively big: around 200 tables, 200 forms and sub-forms, 150 queries and 150 repports, 5GB of data (SQL Server 2000), 40 users. I'm wondering what are the disadvantages of using Access as front-end? Other that it's not...

I am converting an application from A97 to A2003. I have 2 tables created by another application as a Foxpro.dbf. The table has no index. The connect string in A97 is FoxPro 2.0;HDR=NO;IMEX=2;DATABASE=C:\Test It's really easy to connect to those tables in A97. I'm having difficulties in A2003. I'm trying to follow the instructions in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824264/.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
