I'd love to, and in fact *do* whenever I'm given the chance. In fact, Oracle's security model is pretty bad; the reason why Oracle advertises "Unbreakable" so hard is that they have a terrible record of security exploits, making them nearly as bad as MySQL. Heck, these days you're better off using MSSQL than Oracle to protect your data. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
