The support for Java will stay as strong as the support for C# (which by
the way, is not only MS centric, check out http://www.go-mono.com).
They started to support PostgreSQL, when persuaded of that. Maybe if
they are persuaded of supporting Kylix/Delphi, they will release a
generator for that platform too. They are always open for dialog with
customers.

There is a great oportunity for PostgreSQL developers and consultants
individuals and firms, in the GeneXus field. Mainly for those based in
latin american countries from Mexico, through Chile, to Brazil,
Argentina, etc. In the US GeneXus is also present, as well as in many
european, asian, and african countries.
GeneXus developers, usually know little about PostgreSQL, which opens
the oportunity I'm mentioning for PostgreSQL consultants. GeneXus
supports PostgreSQL, of course (throug ODBC as you say).
Go for it!
