Can you give us an example? ;-) But really: sure! Oracle, ferinstance, realizes that many people run Unix *because* they want to run Oracle in a stable server environment. People may be making the same decision about PostgreSQL. We shouldn't have to write this, though... if people could contribute the great 'basics of Unix you need to know to be a decent DBA' stuff that's already on the web, we'd have plenty. -- Joel Burton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://www.postgresql.org/search.mpl
