Apparently all the data got there all right. 2) Using the BDE Database Explorer, I am able to connect from Win32, however I have noticed that when the DATA tab is used, my connection to the postgresql database tends to bring every single row from the database. With the other SQL Servers, the connection only brings a few, then some more, etc. This is a nuissance, because if one touches the data tab, the only way out is killing the task... 3) I have an application, in C, Linux, that was designed to use the SQL ODBC C API. This application talks to a commercial SQL Server that supplies tha API. I was wondering if it would be possible to compile this very same code with a library of an ODBC API that would talk to the Postgresql server... Any information in this direction will be greatly appreciated... F J Fortuny
