Marc,
I tried to create it on gborg originally, but could not complete the
form ??
But to answer your question I would prefer to have it at gborg, so I
will try again and let you know the results.

SQL Server gives you the option, posgres doesn't.

Curt,
You do point out some good areas in which PostgreSQL needs to improve
if we're going to go after the MS SQL market.The rest of this
e-mail, though, is a refutation of your comparison.
As a professional MS SQL Server 7.0 manager, I have to disagree.
However, I have not used MS SQL 200
I have started a java admin tool on sourceforge just 2 weeks ago

Two points to this discussion.
I hate to admit this, but to some people, a Windows version is important.
Yesterday I learned that one product developed here will have a MySQL
implementation because marketing wants a free implementation.
The biggest advantage seems to be that it's working on Wi

I'd have to say that personally, given a choice between expending effort
to fix current know bugs and add known needed features, and expending
effort to port to Windows, I'd pick the former, not the latter.
I could personally care less if postgresql ever runs as a native window
application, si
I don't normally post to this list, but have a crazy suggestion that is a
little farfetched.
Suggestion:
Fix the portability problems so that there is a Windows native version of
PostgreSQL. Then offer the Open Office organization PostgreSQL as the

I've mentioned before, however, that "the tools that fit the bill" is
