While that is debatable, the terms I changed were almost all used inconsistently (which was the reason I started to work on this in the first place -- using "Query" and "Abfrage" in two adjacent buttons isn't good style no matter what), so that argument doesn't have much weight anyway. That said, I will gladly refer you to German database literature, which I regularly use as reference for translations. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
