I know for sure I can't connect from anywhere else, only the server itself. But I *think* I have full privileges to do what I want with the database, but I need to do some further checking, I suppose. It says I have 'amdmin privilegs' but that might not be the same as what I need to create databases outside of the control panel. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
