I'd say no. Executing processes from the installer environment can be a headache (we've had enough problems with initdb already..). And you have to go through all the weirdness with the commandline quoting etc on win32... It's a lot easier to execute a SQL script line-by-line. Which also lets us trap the errors easier etc. //Magnus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
