There is an article at www.scw.org/pgaccess/faq.html about using access and 
postgresql together.

hi,
I'm a beginner in postgresql but I'm familar with Msaccess. Now I use 
postgresql 7.0.2 as backend and Msaccess as frontend via ODBC 6.5.
I studied many mailinglists and books, but I didn't find answers for the 
following questions:

* I don't know if it's correct, but for me it looks like, that Msaccess 
"copies" all rows from a table to the Jet engine when i use a form with a 
joined table. I think, that this is a very slow solution for operating with 
large tables. Can anyone tell me, how I can realize a serverside cursor?
* I have two tables f.e. table article(a_nr integer primary key,
                                                 a_bez varchar(3),
                                                 a_price float8) and
                               table client(t_nr integer primary key,
                                                t_name varchar(30),
                                                a_nr integer references 
article on update cascade)
now I want to develope a "main-form" which shows one client and in the 
"sub-form" there should be the articles corresponding to the client. It's 
easy to realize this with the Jet-engine, but I'm interested to do this 
with a serverside solution. Is it possible?
* when I start msaccess two times ( front1 and front2) and open the same 
forms in both frontends and update an "article" in front1 this update is 
transferred to front2. But when I add a new "article" in front1 this new 
"article" doesn't exist in front2, I have to start the form again in order 
to see the new article. Please can anyone tell me why?

I hope you can help me, because I don't know where I should search to get 
answers to my questions. I'm thankful for all links, tips and informations 
I can get.

Many thanks in advance

Irina
