Hi, Dave

I'm pretty sure it's the only postgres database available.
The network has only 2 machines: DEVO (the server -- a Mandrake 9.0
fresh installation -- add: 192.168.1.1) and RA (a Windows 2000 box --
add: 192.168.1.2), they are connected directly.
Previously I was using Mandrake 8.0 (which came with version 7.0) and
everything was working OK!
Now, I made a fresh installation (formating ALL partitions) and Have
only 2 DBs installed: postgres (7.2!) and MySQL.
The tests were performed without being connected to the internet.

OK! I'll try
BTW!, you have any idea about the meaning of SQLException reported?
