Don't underestimate the strength of the word "legacy".  To be honest, if we=

had the manhours to rewrite it, we'd take the opportunity to run it=20
directly against the PostgreSQL server.

What we're gaining out of this system is the ability to migrate our old=20
applications at our leisure, and the opportunity to write new applications=
=20
against a real RDBMS that contains the same data.  It's certainly not the=20
ideal, but it's working out very well for us.
