Re: FUD!! ODBC will not be supported by Microsoft in the future

Stephen can you please be more specific. How big of a table? What type
of problem did you have opening a big table. I use Postgres in a
production enivornment with about 2 to 3 million row (for all tables).
This is big to some and small to others. I have had no problems
"opening" tables in psql, php, MSAcess, with a row count well over
100,000 rows. If you have had a problem that is reproducible, then you
should let the list know so the problem can be fixed.

For the others on the list, I have not moved from Oracle to Postgres but
from Access to Postgres. Most of the problems with that transition deal
with name issues (Access allows many things in the naming of tables and
fields) and Access thinking it is smarter than me when I give it a query
to run. (I still use Access as a front end, and am slowly porting it to
php.)

I hope this helps others on the list,
