Hello,
whilst it seems driving libpq.dll from VB might be a difficult enterprise..
is it still not possible to just connect a socket to port 5432 of where ever
and
start communicating with postgres through a socket?  TCP or UDP?

Just like simple email clients connect to port 110 of a server and send

user fred
pass mypass

list

RETR 1

etc ...

any thoughts on this?

Stephen
