Thanks so much for the link Paul! Everything upgraded with no problems. I'm
very pleased.. Thanks again.

George, to answer your question.. postgres is similar to Microsoft Access..
or Oracle..or mySQL.. or mssql server. its relational database management
system (mysql is not..but thats a whole 'nother thread ;). I barely know
anything about FileMaker pro, but I think its a db system that has its own
language.. which is similar to sql based databases such as postgresql. the
db engines differ.. but most are based around the same language --SQL.. and
each adds its own flair to the language..
