Ooooh-K. Sounds good, but I know next to nothing about SSL. Where is a
good place to start? Had a look at the PG source, from the looks of it, a
SSL link is established before any other data is sent (including
username/password), correct? Are there any special libraries required for
compiling PG with SSL support? Also, what about use of SSL inside/outside
the US?
Now for the big question: Does the ODBC driver support SSL connections?
