heh, I should add that the script is pretty broken. I've got a more up to date version at http://siksai.co.uk/~rhowe/software/sqlite2pgsql but it's still not quite right. Still, it may make the transition slightly less painful for anyone else who has to do it. In the end, I blew our catalog away after getting complaints from SQLite about the database file being corrupt. I started afresh with Postgres. We were switching to a new drive and a whole new set of tapes, so the catalog was only of historical interest in case we needed to restore from a while back. In about 4 months, it would be rendered completely useless. I'm tempted to knock up yet another web interface to the database, however, so you might see some Java stuff from me in the not too distant future. -- Russell Howe [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
