I've searched for hours trying to find how to force pass-through with no luck. Got any ideas?

I am not speaking with specific knowledge about the official PostgreSQL ODBC driver, but support for the above grammar is not demanded by the actual ODBC specification. Many ODBC drivers have a pass-through mode. You might check the documentation for the official driver and see if it has one. Any query that will work from PSQL will work in pass-through mode. Thanks for the suggestion. Frankly, I'm quite surprised that the ODBC driver specification talks at all about SQL grammar, although I have absolutely no knowledge of the specification. I would think that the commands traveling over ODBC would not be interpreted by ODBC at all. Why would it need to? Also, the above grammar is standard SQL, if I'm not mistaken. If the ODBC spec talks about grammar, I would think that it would support such a widely-used standard... In any case, I've been searching for how to turn on pass-through to no avail. Got any pointers?

Carl P.S., In OpenOffice, on the SQL view window, there's a button with a box and SQL in it. Activating that turns on pass-through. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
