Hi,

I'm fairly new to DBMS's and PostGre SQL in particular. Most of
my experience is with MS Access. I've created MS Access to retrieve
data from PostGre by linking tables and have done so without error.
However, I am now in need of being able to update a PostGre table. The
source will be a .csv file.

I've seen a "COPY" command in PostGre that will allow you to
specify a .csv file as the source, but in looking at it it appears that
it deletes and then creates the table with the stored data. I need to
be able to Update or Append data from a file. Maybe going the route of
a temp file then update from that.

I'm using Access as that is a point of comfort for me. I can
write a .net procedure though I'm not exactly firm on the procedure.

Thoughts on how to do the entire front end in Access.

Or

Thoughts on whether to do it from a .net perspective.

MSAccess ( 2003 )

PostGreSQL ( 8.1.8 )
