How severe of a security concern is it to connect to Postgresql via ODBC
over the Internet?

A client wants to be able to access their database from anywhere, remote
offices, home, etc.

If I made a VB app that connected to a Postgresql database that had a public
IP number, am I courting with disaster?

I know a lot of it involves the security setup on the server itself, but I
was curious if there are issues with having a database open to the "public"
like that?
