SQL statements/commands are multi-line. They must be terminated by a semi-colon (;). It sounds as though you have forgotten this... You can also use \g (enter \? for help on psql internal commands). -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
