And with dot2tex, it would be even possible to generate a complete, printable, well-typographed PDF documentation of any PostgreSQL database from within Pgadmin, through LaTeX. </hint> Sincerely, Wolfgang -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
