Actually, it's because Larry(*) doesn't like competition and RedHat poked him with a sharp-stick called "Postgres" in that ballpark. I tried to get Oracle 8i (8.1.7) under FreeBSD's Linux emulation following on-the-net documentation (which all appears to be sourced from the same documentation, but modified minutely for each page it appears on including the handbook). It spammed my logs with a lot of noise about trap 9 all over the place *shrug*. One can't help but think that SQL*Plus was going to be called SQL++ but it went to the printers with the first + crossed out... Oliver (*) Not Wall(**) (**) Be praised
