No, there's no IDE integration. What would you want? I don't use MS SQL,
so I don't really know what the integration they offer is and how it works.

libpq works perfectly fine in programs compiled with MSVC++, so you can
use libpq to talk to PostgreSQL just like you would on any other platform.

Alternately you can use PgODBC, ADO, npgsql, etc to use PostgreSQL from
your program.

I'm not aware of a LINQ backend for PostgreSQL, alas.
