Surely that's not true for a production environment. You have one database but potentially dozens of various programs around that access it. The main application, some backend scripts for batch jobs, your backup process, your monitoring systems... Not all of these are necessarily on the same machine. It's upgrading the database that's likely to be the driving motivation for new sql or storage features. People usually don't get excited about upgrading the client libraries :) -- greg ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
