I am looking at porting a web application from FrontBase to Postgresql. If anybody has some tips on how to deal with this, I'd appreciate hearing him. Thanks.

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 ;)
