Actually, I think this would be a role better served by an IDE. I've long thought that it would be teriffic if someone wrote a PL/whatever IDE (covering PL/pgSQL, PL/sh, PLtcl and PLperl). However, I can neither fund nor write it myself, so that'll remain a "wish list" item until maybe Red Hat sees money in it. Speaking of which, does anyone know if RH has a seperate "wish list" for what us developer-types would like to see our of RHDB? -Josh ______AGLIO DATABASE SOLUTIONS___________________________ Josh Berkus Complete information technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] and data management solutions (415) 565-7293 for law firms, small businesses fax 621-2533 and non-profit organizations.
