I know how to do it now, and I consider the problem solved. Hopefully, this thread may help others who stumbles upon the same issue. regards, Leif -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
