no, postgresql is a database back-end and can only work directly on it's
own back-end files. Contrast to access which is both a database
front-end and back-end; the access front-end can talk to other database
back-end's via odbc. With that said, you can convert back-end database
files from access to postgresql, one such program that does this is
pgadmin (pgadmin.postgresql.org).
