Interesting.
If I create a blank “.UDL” file I can then stick in that and it appears to work, but its SEVERELY limited.
I can’t get at anything from Word EXCEPT for the single database that I defined in the SQL setup in “Data Sources” – and I can only have one on the machine! This is a potential problem of course…… there’s a lot more than one database on the SQL server…..
But – it DOES appear to work for mail merge this way – its just kludgy as heck.

I don't think the problem resides on the PostgreSQL side of things but the Office side. From my experience and from what I can gather Office needs a separate file (.udl .odc, etc) in order to display the results properly.
The discussion here might provide some further insight (first topic - Subject: Re: Mail Merge to SQL Server without using an external ODC):
