Couple of things to keep in mind: * SQLLite and PostgreSQL are not 100% compatable. It's cheap and easy to set up PostgreSQL for testing/development, so it seems silly (to me) to test on something that might behave differently than the production environment. * Any setup where the application can execute DDL is a potential security concern. If the code can manipulate tables then a bug in the code can allow an accidental or malicious user to quickly and easily destroy data. -- Bill Moran I need your help to succeed: http://gamesbybill.com -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
