It is possible to put a PostgreSQL database in substitution of a

Any tips (beyond obvious "check Oracle specific funcionality")?
what is BDE ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borland_Database_Engine
if its using ODBC or something to connect to Oracle, then you should
be able to use ODBC to connect to PostgreSQL.
Will the Borland TurboWhatever code run as-is? well, that depends on
what its doing with Oracle. good luck.
Thanks - my thoughts, perhaps, was if someone with experience on BDE
could give some light here :-) - I'm not a BDE expert myself; that's
why I'm looking for help.
BDE is some kind of "obscure" technology - it needs some special
drivers, and I honestly don't know if it will work with pure ODBC.
Even with Oracle, I had trouble because I've to install those software
in certain sequence otherwise drivers are not added to Windows
registry (I hate it).
I appreciate your insights and your time.

Possibly you could consider up grading to Linux first?
(Not being entirely facetious!)
PostgreSQL runs better on Linux, as I suspect Oracle also does.
Cheers,
Gavin
