All,I agree with below. The ORB should be a seperate
daemon from the backend. Not only will the stability
of the backend be affected if the ORB is placed in the
backend, but performance will also suffer. The ORB should
be developed as a seperate daemon which -could- be placed
on a seperate server to increase performance. Also remember,
however the ORB is designed, it will consume alot of CPU
and memory resources within the server.

1) A corba interface sounds interesting.  I wish I had time  to investigate corba further.  

2) Applixware proports to be able to access corba objects.  I guess  this means it can import/export corba IDLs, and
talkover IIOP?  I haven't tried it out.
 

3) I'm not sure that the interface needs to be part of the backend.  Most of the structure information can be obtained
fromthe pg_   tables.  Having a separate process would be safer for the overall  stability of the backend.  Am I
missingsomething?
 

In any case, it seems very worth investigating.
