VB6 - convertion from Access database to PostgreSQL

From

I have been asked to take a VB6 application that use an Access database and convert it to use PostgreSQL.

 

From what I can see the VB application connects using DAO and also JET/ADO!

Not sure why it has both

 

If I do convert it to PostgreSQL do I have the option of standard ADO access or do I have to use DAO?

 

Also, what are the performance considerations?

 

May thanks

You can use the ADO provider for ODBC, and the PostgreSQL ODBC driver -
I've used this for quite some time without problems.

Many thanks.

Now all I have to do is to figure out what price to quote them. :)

Make sure it has plenty of zeros at the end! :-)
