As I said before, I am involved in patches only when a patch isn't addressed. If a new system works, I will have nothing to do, which is good. If you want me to believe it will work better than what we do now, I can't. Prove me wrong. Forget about what I think. Do something and stop talking about it. What I am not going to do is to do 2x more work and get 2% more help, which is what I fear. -- Bruce Momjian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
