Thread: commercial usage with odbc
Hi, First of all, i am a postgres fan for a long time. Now, our company is looking for a database platform for our products. The choice of mine would be postgres, but i am not the one who makes decisions. It's the boss, and he would like to see some some examples of database usage from real world. To make it clear, i have to say that possibly all of our clients use novell based local networks and mswindows clients. My question is, how good odbc driver is, and what is more important, how good it behaves with Borland c++ builder 5. I would be greatful if you have any information on advantages and possibly disadvantages of using postgres odbc driver with borland builder. Also it would be great if you could send me some examples of products/companies using postgres with odbc driver especially with client created with borland buider. Anyway, i am also interested in more general information, not necessarily including borland builder.

Thank you all for ( off-list ) answers. I'm glad to hear, that postgres odbc driver works fine even with access frontends. We definately won't use access frontends. All our frontends will be c++ and i bet we will use borland builder. That's the reason we are interested in odbc and borland components cooperation. We have some unpleasant experiences with some other database platform. There is no need ( and maybe shame ) to say its name, as nobody will use it in real products anyway. We have tried this because of historical reasons, and that was real pain. I really hope it was odbc fault, not a borland builder itself. Or is it possible access is better than c++ frontend? Can someone give us a hope that borland builder + odbc will give a good performance?

I don't know, how good borland builder is. But there can't be much worse than access ;-) Andre
