Re: PGSQL vs. SQL Server questions

That's great news.
I was hoping so...as none of the select queries I am using are particularly
complex...and I am using the properties of the recordset object to do
updates. Although I suspect it will be a little slower than ADO which I am
using with SQL Server.
I will dowload the ODBC doco and do a bit of research.
Thanks for the reply
Lee

Hi Lee,

Josh's reply was very insightful indeed... =)  Anyway, as for your last
question:

Yes, there's and ODBC compliant driver for PostgreSQL and it's been working
fine for us, at least in the last 2 years. (XP, NT, 2000, '98, Red Hat
Linux)
And yes, you simply need to vary the connection string to connect to either
SQL Server or Postgres.

HTH.
