Unfortunately I cannot tell you much about Postgres on Unix and client
on Windows, but all my test apps written on VB and PG running on Linux,
so this combination works and I think should not be much pain for you as
well.
Would be interesting to here real success story of happy marriage of
postgres and ADO.

thanks for the caution Maksim ,

unix/linux
box.
and i just need to have the application on Windows + .Net
i can use odbc.net or inherit the adapter
do you still see any possibility of serious issues !?

So I would tell you, before doing something ask yourself what is you
goal,
if you shop primary OS is MS Windows and client is
VB or .Net or more generally ADO 2.7.x you'll probably looking into
wrong direction,
because nothing works better with ADO then MS SQL Server.
I am not telling you that postgres will not suite you, that will if you
are
following certain pattern.
What is you goal?

You cannot have [out] parameters in term of MS TSQL word,
but your function could return a complex type, that will do a trick.
Still you cannot return a recordset and [out] params, but do you need
it?
