Re: Postgres and/or Access, Oh My!

Josh

You raise some interesting ideas. The only question that I have is if/how
once:radix fits into a possible joint solution. It may be possible but the
problem for us is that we have quite specific requirements in the database.
This is needed to set up the security infrastructure.

So I don¹t know whether it is possible have it share the same database
without some major rework. But it is certainly a proposition that deserves
some investigation.

I¹m happy to look at it if there is a specification.
