Re: does postgresql works on distributed systems?

Excuse me, but maybe I'm misunderstanding your statements and questions
here?

MS SQL Server most certainly 'can be' accessed from a network, three ways
immediately come to mind:
- isql command line
- osql command line
- PERL using DBI interface

ODBC Drivers help in some configuration scenarios, but there is no
question that MS SQL Server can be accessed from any network
configuration, suffice it to say there is no security mechanism denying
this access.

On your second point, postgresql, absolutely can be accessed as well over
the network!
