Still, at least Oracle 10g provides for an easy GUI from which to configure and perform imports and exports of data. Some of use have need for a database that can dump all data and accept another series of new data...only to be dropped again in a few days. The GUI tools make this MUCH easier - especially when dealing with many different types of tables and data formats. The GUI file import/export is one feature I would love to see next to enhance pgAdmin III! -----Original Message----- People who can't figure out how to configure Postgres are not likely to get far with Oracle ;-). Unless Oracle has made some *huge* strides in ease of installation/administration with 10g, I see this making practically no dent in MySQL. Or PG for that matter. All they're really likely to accomplish is to cannibalize some of their own low-end sales. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
