I'm not sure if I'm fully understanding your question, but there is an ODBC driver that does come with the standard distribution of PostgreSQL, in the src/interfaces/odbc director Systems Administrator @ hub.org primary: scrappy@hub.org secondary: scrappy@{freebsd|postgresql}.org

Mostly queries and such. We have also done some forms prototyping with relative ease. I cannot guarantee that your conversion will be trouble free. You may have to get your hands dirty. I strongly recommend that you get the latest version of the driver from our web site at: http://www.insightdist.com/psqlodbc You will also want to get the latest version (6.4) of the server.
