Score! ;-)

Oh, BTW, having never been a DBA on a Sybase box, I don't actually know
how easy/hard it is to deal with these sorts of things. I was just using
Oracle terminology. I'm really wondering what the possibilites are in
PostgreSQL for these sorts of config and mgmt issues - I haven't dug into
the DBA aspects of it.
