Hi all,
I have a couple of questions from some people interested in migrating
to PostgreSQL and I lack some answers. Please can you help me answer
the following questions:
- are there native PostgreSQL drivers for Delphi and Crystal Reports?
The people would like to avoid using ODBC.
- about the planned Windows native version: is it going to be exactly
the same or are there going to be some missing functionalities, what
with it running on Windows and not Unix? Are there any major issues
that can be expected?
Thanks

There is at least one company producting drivers for Borland's products, so I
would be surprised if there wasn't something for Delphi - Googling should do
there.
Don't know of anything for Crystal. Why do you not want to use ODBC?

I'm sure someone involved in the Windows port will help out here, but the
effort is to make the PostgreSQL code run on both platforms, not to produce
another Windows version. Of course, since Windows is a new platform to run
on, it won't have received as much testing as with *nix systems, and might
need some performance work too. Other than that, I can't think what would
cause problems.

I've used that product in C++ Builder and it works well. It claims to
work in Delphi. afaik Crystal integration still requres odbc.
