Ademir,
AFAIK stored procedures are not implemented but most of their functionality
can be implemented with either VIEWS or functions (written in plpgsql, tcl,
c ..). I think I read that its currently on a TODO list.
Primary key referential integrity is supported but Foreign key is parsed but
not implemented yet (6.5). Again this behavior can be emulated using
plpgsql / triggers.
If you're porting from Access 97 to Postgres you may like to have a look at
pgupt - Postgres Upsizing Tool - Its a work in progress but it will automate
most of the upsizing process including automatic creation of triggers and
functions for referential integrity as per MSAccess.

The ODBC link should be no problem.
Hope this helps
