Theoretically speaking (meaning I haven't done it, but I've
read about it), there are lots of ways. You could have PostgreSQL
talk to a Windows application via ODBC. You could read your table
from PostgreSQL (perhaps with perl) and write a comma seperated
volue (CSV) file(s). There are probably a bunch of other ways too.
