MS Access can be used as a flexible tool for reshaping
data.  Using MS Access on the client-side, I am able
to link to PostgreSQL tables via ODBC.  Once
connected, I export data into many data formats (text
files, .dbf, Paradox, FoxPro, Excel, etc).  If I need
to change the format or values of the data itself, I
do so in a query, and export the query results.

You can use this same method with other ODBC compliant
databases such as Paradox.  (I would _not_ recommend
Lotus Approach for this.)

Best of luck,

Andrew Gould
