I figured that could be the problem.
Then I though I should open the connection with the shell() function, 
but I wish I'd know how this thing works.(how to get to the point to 
issue a SQL.) besides the fact that I played around a bit with the 
shell() function and, I don't know , it doesn't seem to work the way I 
suspected .
May needed to change the shell to a different shell, tch or ssh or 
whatever.

Yes , with 2.2 I have no problem . great job done by RR . I believe 2.5 
will be fixed soon.

More or less I do the same thing

global gDbid
on openStack
   put revOpenDatabase("PostgreSQL","127.0.0.1","myDbName,","userName",) 
into gDbid
   and some additional scripts
end openStack

Thanks, Hershel
