Hmmm... It is possible to make that switch if this is the only
solution to that problem but then I'd have to create and maintain
packages for that. We have developers in Linux and Windows XP doing
some collaborative work for a project here. 

pgdb was chosen because it is standard with PostgreSQL and available
in both Linux distributions we have: Conectiva and Mandrake. It won't
be hard to do that, but I would really like to know if there's a pgdb
solution at all...

I've already done that, as I said in my prior message. It didn't
work. I'm still trying it, since it seems that it solved GNU
Enterprise's problems... 

I'm going to check the docs again and see if I missed something...
