the great thing about standards is there are so many to choose from. :)

ODBC, however, is, IMHO, awful.

A study by Ken North showed that there is nothing to be gained by using native low level drivers instead of ODBC in terms of speed.
PostgreSQL was not one of the database engines included in the study.
However, I suspect that a study of PostgreSQL would show the same tendencies.
Once you are used to programming in ODBC, it is quite simple.
Of course, I write standards based drivers for a living, so my testimony has a built-in bias.
