I would assume this is not a major issue for most. Personally I ran into

this problem when writing automated PG->MS Access converter (Jackcess is

the only lib capable of creating MDB files on Linux/BSD) and it bailed

on numeric fields. 

Great gods, why would anyone do this in the first place? :) I once wrote one for the opposite direction, but please tell us, which requirements needs you to convert a postgres database to MS Access?

Long story. We’re migrating old Access app to Postgres but still need to be able to exchange datasets with the old app users (app supports it’s own import/export in MDB format). Since migration is expected to last several years we need some sort of automated PG->MDB thing…
