you wrote: I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to access DOS Paradox 4.5 tables in PostgreSQL. I currently have several Perl and PAL scripts that transfer data between the two systems via text, but I would _much_ rather simply be able to read and write to/from the Pardox tables from Linux. Is something like this possible, or am I just dreaming? Jason Earl +++++++++++++++++++++++ doesn't msaccess97 import paradox 4.5 tables?? if it does, the odbc driver for access to postgres works fine. i created the new tables in postgres using psql, then wrote an insert query in access (with the postgres table linked in the same database as the former paradox table) to move the data. worked fine! i think you can also, in the same access database LINK to both the paradox table (without formally importing it) and to the new one in postgres, and then write the insert query. . . jt
