Difficult task as the vendors of dbms I tryed does not opens the 
internals for me to build such a interface.

Here in Brazil, companies are seeking for high performance software and 
low price.

I am offering FreeBSD whith a postgres95 dbms.  as a data base.
WWW/CGI as a tool to access the dmbs via windows/FreeBSD/Linux/Apple...
For developing applications, I am trying PHP or PYTHON both in the form 
of a www server module. The languages have access to the postgres95 database
and are very fast and reliable.

Indeed, I am offering a Bank automation based in this tecnology. using 
COMPAQ servers running FreeBSD. Is a small bank and the whole system 
costs 1/5 of a one running Sybase.
