I've never used Excel, but it's possible to use ODBC to query
a PostgreSQL database from a Windows system. You need to install the
PostgreSQL ODBC drivers, of course, and set up a connection using
the ODBC control panel. I've done this to allow MS Access to query a
PGSQL database on a Unix system.
If you are interested in trying this, the most current version
of the PGSQL ODBC drivers are located at:
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/versions/v06-50-0000/
IIRC, the file "postdrv.exe" is what you're looking for.
