another challenge with the Environment variable: they are (at least on windows) usually set for one logged on user. And ususally I have pg_admin, python for development, psql and my application all connected to the same PostgreSQL server. I would love to see 4 different application names, and not the value of one environment-variable. that argv[0] that was somewhere in this thread looked nice :) Harald -- GHUM Harald Massa persuadere et programmare Harald Armin Massa Spielberger Straße 49 70435 Stuttgart 0173/9409607 no fx, no carrier pigeon - %s is too gigantic of an industry to bend to the whims of reality
