I am very new to SQL, MS Access & PostgreSQL. So this might be a very silly question but somehow I can't figure it out. I'm trying to run SQL queries in access and my data is in a PostgreSQL database table which was linked to access by my colleague earlier. When I make this simple query why do I get an error that the table doesn't exist? Is the syntax different for linked database tables? Or is the link not yet established?
You have created a Pass-Through query. This query is executed on the server, not in Access, so you need to use the original table names from the PostgreSQL database.
So it's not FROM public_tb_change but FROM tb_change.
Or maybe FROM public.tb_change, if public isn't the default schema.
I advise to rename your linked tables to the original name (remove public_), that makes things much less confusing. The schema name is automatically added by Access when linking the tables.
