Or from MySQL-specific assumptions :-). It seems reasonable (absent of particular knowledge to the contrary) that the size of a transaction might be _expected_ to be some sort of constraint; it is quite surprising that it isn't, and I don't think that's purely based on the mistake of assuming that the whole world does things exactly like Oracle. -- (format nil "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "cbbrowne" "acm.org") http://cbbrowne.com/info/postgresql.html Rules of the Evil Overlord #89.
