Great news, Joel!  I think you are over the hump...you just happened to
jump onto the odbc driver at the worst possible moment (during a big
push to update it after a couple of years of relative neglect).

I think it's fair to say you exhibited a certain amount of bravery for
sticking it out over a few difficult weeks.  Now that you have an
application stack you can rely on, you will find that PostgreSQL is an
excellent foundation to build a business around.  The capabilities of
the database far exceed all others in its class.
