Back from holidays I did a further try to cope with your suggestion.
I really didn't managed to install the ODBC Subscriber for the
replication mechanism. Fortunately I managed to create a linked server
and finally I could see the tables of the PostgreSQL database.
Unfortunately my stupid German documentation dosn't give me any hint
how to create a OLE DB subscriber. (Does anybody know if I could
get a English one from MS once bought a German for free? - I suppose
not.) Could anybody tell me which damn menu I have to pull to get
such a beast installed. It's a shame to ask such questions here but
I really get upset yesterday when trying to fiddle around with this
beast :-( - sorry.
Kind regards
Andreas.
