This is one of the reasons I'm dropping MySQL, at the end it just generates 
trouble..

I was hoping to get an easy "two platform" fix for this, but there just is not.
So moving to PG  needs to done quickly here.

Thing is I want PG to be installed on my Workstation, exactly like on Lion 
Server…. more work

Thank you Michael!
