Yes, it is possible to use PostgreSQL with VB6, via ODBC (I have posted
numerous times in the past on this - see the archives if you are
interested, I am not going to repeat myself here) - I am doing it as we
speak. But I don't think this is what you are asking.

If I am understanding you correctly, you are wanting to code stored
procedures in VB and load them into your PostgreSQL DB, correct? As far
as I know, this is *not* possible. You can, however, write SP's using
PL/PgSQL, which is similar to PL on Oracle, from what I understand.

Once you have your SP written, there should be a way to call/use it via
ODBC. I have never done this, but I did find this post, which may give
you some help:
