Hi Andrew,
Hi,
I have a client with a main office and a branch office about 90 miles away.
They have a server at the main office but it is not a web server.
What would be the best solution for them to access a PostgreSQL database located at the main office from the branch office?
I am not "network savvy", but if I get pointed in the right direction I should be able to fill in the blanks.
Thanks in advance!
The best solution will depend upon the type of activity the branch office
needs to perform with the database server.
The application is an inventory management system. Their current solution
is an MS Access based system and they use Microsoft Terminal Services to
enable the branch office to access the main office server. They are
considering a move to an application that I provide which utilizes
PostgreSQL.
Also, what operating system(s) are they running at the branch office?
Everything is Windows based.

Hi George,
MS Access can access PostgreSQL servers via ODBC links. There is an SSL Mode configuration option in the PostgreSQL ODBC driver for security.
Best of luck,
Andrew
