If you want to use Perl, this is what I found you had to do. Perhaps someone cleverer than I can suggest shortcuts. > -- what tools does Dartware usually use to query the database? We use a variety of tools--python scripts, perl scripts, pgAdmin3, Crystal Reports, OpenRPT. It depends on the reason for querying. Crystal Reports won't help on Mac OS X, of course, and OpenRPT is challenging to make useful, to say the least, or at least I found it to be so. pgAdmin3 is probably be the most straightforward way to get the query working. Once you have it working in that, you can consider moving the query to other environments. It's a good way to work out the kinks in the connection as well as the query before trying to set it up in more difficult environments. You mentioned you had tried it; what sorts of trouble did you have? -- Christopher -- ================================= Christopher L.
