Thanks for the remaining commands: Postgres may not be as evil/hard as my initial impression. I did read an article last night where the author gave a really nice comparison...wished I would have saved the URL. One thing he mentioned was that when Postgres went down, it goes does hard. Corrupted db files/indexes/etc in Postgres are not fun....which leads me to my last command question: In mysql there is a program called mysqldump, which I use each night to backup all of my databases. It simply dumps the contents of the database to a sql file that can be read back in. Postgres equivalent? -mike
