If it is WebObjects, you can contact me off-list. I've done that for
some of our apps. It's not really hard.

FrontBase has a Perl DBI driver
<http://www.frontbase.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/FrontBase&gt;, so you may be
able to use DBI-Link <http://pgfoundry.org/projects/dbi-link/&gt;.

If you try that approach, let me know how it works out :)

Cheers,
David.

Thanks, that looks interesting. Even if it doesn't work out for
porting, I will have to play with it. ;)

BTW, I ported a few of the tables and one of the queries. The timing
difference is quite amazing:

FrontBase: 13 seconds
Postgresql: 42 msec

There's a lot of incentive to do the port ;)
