Try reading the text of the exception. You are using an old version of
OLE DB. Try the latest version
(http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/oledb) It should either work, or
give you a proper error message.

OLE DB is a binary interface. As such, it needs to know the binary
structure of any data type it encounters. It does not yet support all
the data types returned by Postgres 8. Please place (CC to this list)
the way you defined the column that offends OLE DB.

Please note that a newer version of OLE DB did have some additions in
the time types category, so I heartily suggest you try that first.
