Hi
 
While looking at an error message for iexplore.exe, I noticed, on Task Manager, that there are 5 or more instances of postgres.exe running. Each instance is consuming between 7 to 10 megs of resources, for a total of almost 50 megs.
 
Is this normal behavour?
 
If so, could someone enlighten me as to the purpose?
 
Bob
