Re: explain

Sorry ,

I am not sure about this.

ie, if a query does not have enough previliegs to run,
will its explain be allowed?
i hope someone else can throw some light.

But i have one suggestion regarding your project
spend a *couple* of week studying docs and using postgresql.
just a quick weekend may not be enough to gather much
understanding for your project.
