Connect Access to PostgreSQL

There are two methods for accessing PostgreSQL data from Microsoft Access:

  • Importing data: Transfers PostgreSQL records into Access tables for offline analysis or integration with other datasets. For more information, see Import PostgreSQL data into Access through ODBC.

  • Linking tables: Ensures reliable access to PostgreSQL datasets by creating linked tables, which allows for real-time interaction with live data. For more information, see Create a linked table to PostgreSQL data in Access.

Each method offers distinct benefits, letting you work with PostgreSQL data in the way that best fits your workflow and requirements.
