Hey, Chris,

Thanks for the info. It's Fort-Knox worth of knowledge for me!
Two things:

1) I can't find the WebDB module... do you mean WebPG? Could you post
the link to that, if it isn't:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=129210

2) I'm no expert, and want to help. I _/use/_ php and postgresql. I do
very simple coding. Are bug reports enough from me?
