I am thinking of purchasing the professional version of Delphi to
build
a front-end to manage the database that powers my web site. My web
site is Apache driven under Linux and the database I use is Postgres.

I would like to use Delphi's data-aware components (TQuery, TDatabase,
TDataSource, etc) to build a fairly simple client-server application:
the client
application would run on my home PC and the server is the Postgres
database where my web site is hosted.

I have two questions:
1. Can I use data-aware tools over connectionless HTTP.
2. If not, what are my options bearing in mind my web site is
commercially hosted and I can only access my Postgres database via a
HTTP front end.

Thanks in advance

Jon
