That would be a good idea.

I'm showing my DB ignorance. I really need to come up with a project or two and force myself to learn. > PostgreSQL poses no such problems. If it's needed then that's what we'll use. I'm hoping to get the demo info this week so I can try it out during this week of configuration and next week of testing. If we buy Can-It Pro then hopefully we can get some help setting up PostgreSQL right since we really don't know how. Actually I hope we can get some help in a few months when we finally dump Redhat and switch to something better, hopefully Gentoo. Boo hoo, Kentucky.
