(And details like relation names etc returned to the client.) There would appear to be potential complications with literal cast requests (eg: _ISO8859_1'abc') in connections using other UTF8 or other character sets etc. (Wondering if the client interface is expected to deal with such things - when asking for user input - or whether the server handles them in some vaguely sensible way (I suspect there is not always a good solution).) -- Geoff Worboys Telesis Computing ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WhatsUp Gold - Download Free Network Management Software The most intuitive, comprehensive, and cost-effective network management toolset available today.
