After consulting MSDN, I am pretty sure that I will be able to wrap the
provider around libpq. If not, I won't be completing the provider. *g*
The only task I have listed for my project so far is building a
strategy...included in this is a feasability check.
No need for altars, but testers/documenters might come in handy if I ever
get something up and running. :)

So you are writing an OLE DB provider? I'm going to have to set up an altar
to you at my house... ;)
I know it may be a stupid question, but are they overly hard? I mean, if
you have a lot of connectivity code already existent in the ODBC and libpq,
does it make the job a lot easier?
