Re: Postgresql and W98

I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm mistaken; but I
think that you'll suffer decreases in performance
whenever you use resources to run a GUI.

I use Win98 and Access 97 as a front-end to data
warehouses in PostgreSQL; but the PostgreSQL databases
are on separate machines: 1 x Linux, 1 x FreeBSD. My
largest table has 8,591,561 records. There are
advantages to having Access or Excel handle adhoc
report formats and Linux/FreeBSD handle the heavy data
processing. (My 2 cents.)
