Fine, I am all ears. Also, a lot of people are thinking usability improvements aren't a big item, but they are. I had a press person ask during the 8.0 release, "You have a lot of large features in 8.0, but what is there for the ordinary database user?". At that time all we had was COPY CSV. This release will have a lot of those usability improvements. -- Bruce Momjian [EMAIL PROTECTED] EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
