Just to clarify -  Aubit4GL currently works with InformixSQL style SQL 
statements being converted to PostgresSQL on the fly for migrating current 
Informix4GL programs to run against a PostgresSQL database.

What I'm talking about here is running native PostgresSQL statements within 
the 4GL for people who've maybe never heard of Informix 4GL/SQL.

(For example - Aubit4GL has no CREATE TYPE statement, outer joins are 
different etc - a PostgresSQL programmer may not like the fact they need to 
PREPARE or SQL/ENDSQL around these statements that the current 4GL grammar 
rules don't recognise...).
