Just so no one gets confused, PervasiveSQL is our Btrieve-based database; it has nothing to do with Pervasive Posgres or PosgreSQL.

Probably, depending on what those queries are, what hardware you have and how the table is laid out. Unless you've got a really high query load I suspect you could handle this on some fairly mundane hardware... > 3) How well does postgres work with load balancing environments. Is it > built-in? As Chris said, there is no built-in solution. PGCluster (http://pgfoundry.org/projects/pgcluster/) is a possible solution should you need clustering/load balancing, but as I mentioned I suspect you should be ok without it. -- Jim C.
