Well, there is no mechanism in Postgres for specifying comments during table creation, but some apps emulate this by calling the COMMENT command as applicable. In any case, to retrieve table comments: SELECT pg_description.description FROM pg_class, pg_description WHERE pg_class.relname = 'table_name' AND pg_class.oid = pg_description.classoid > Q2: I have a datestyle on the database witch is ISO, EUROPEAN (02-12-2002). > Then I have a coloumn with the type Date.

DATESTYLE is a run-time configuration variable, and is only valid for the connected session, which isn't reliable in an HTTP environment. You are better off using to_char() to format your date output. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc. "Leveraging Open Source for a better Internet"
