Re: numeric type and odbc from access 2000

The problem can be fixed in psql with explicit casting but the windows odbc
driver for postgres does not make that determination correctly so update
and delete statements from access give errors when there is a float or a
numeric/decimal type in any table.  And unfortunately, there is no way to
adjust the sql statements sent from access to the ODBC to explicitly cast
datatypes (or at least I think that's true)

This seems to be a major issue if one is using access as a front-end client
beacuse any table with float/numeric type will not be updated or deleted.

Any idea (from anyone) when there will be an ODBC fix or a fix so the
numeric type don't have to be explicitly casted in postgresql.
