Hi Rodney,

Cool tip to know !

Could you, please, let me know, the platform witch host your 
Revolution's PostgeSQL client app, the platform witch host the 
PostgreSQL server ? Are both the client and the server running on the 
same box, on two diffrent boxes ?

Even in using an example app, friendly provided to me by Sadhu, i have 
n't, at the moment, found the way to run a Rev's PostgreSQL client app 
hosted on the Linux platform (no tested on Win32 nor OSX, for yet) :-!

Thanks for any help,

IBTW : My Postgres 7.xx server is fine running and serving in production 
mode MC apps trough shell() bindings to the psql Postgres command line 
client. My problem is to get the right way to replace the shell() way by 
the RevDB lib's one?
