That was your original question, and the answer is simply, use libpq.dll This
*is* the PostgreSQL API. If your windoze client app uses libpq.dll then you can
access a PostgreSQL database directly *without* the use of ODBC. The Zeos
components wrap up this functionality quite nicely for Delphi. I don't know
anything about using a .dll in VB so I can't help there, but that is just a
general VB issue that any experienced VB'er can answer.
