Hallo!
Maybe this is a bit off-topic, as this problem is more a "design"-one, but
I wanted to write a web-application write invoices more easy. I wonder if
it was a good idea to try this using Postgres or if it was better to write
the data of each invoice in a separate file in a separate director
Uhh.. OS wars are silly. Use what ever OS you like.
We should discuss PostgreSQL here, not operating systems (at least not in
the classic flame-war style)..

If you're questioning how to use a multi-field primary key, it's easy...

id2));

How might one case a BIT to a BOOLEAN? For example, I want to return
rows which have non-zero bit representation for, say, (sel_a & b'0011').
That is, rows with the first or second bit set.
I tried an explicit CAST, and just the query directly, but the cast

Can you access other data sources via MS-Query, such as local Access

For the same kind of insertion:

And if this is possible what sql syntax does it follow.
