That would be a good idea. It had a developer release this summer
(6.200_02) but I don't know if it fixed its problems or not).

I'm showing my DB ignorance. I really need to come up with a project or
two and force myself to learn.

If it's needed then that's what we'll use. I'm hoping to get the demo
info this week so I can try it out during this week of configuration and
next week of testing. If we buy Can-It Pro then hopefully we can get some
help setting up PostgreSQL right since we really don't know how.
Actually I hope we can get some help in a few months when we finally dump
Redhat and switch to something better, hopefully Gentoo.
Boo hoo, Kentucky.
