They look pretty clean... but do people use these kinds of things? Particulraly visual explain. I'm not putting these projects down -- I'm genuinely interested. Perhaps there will be a greater calling for them when PostgreSQL native windows port is released. Still, products like these bring a professional/commercial feel to PostgreSQL which can only benefit the project. Gavin

Visual explain, yes. I definitely use it in Oracle, though maybe I'd be less likely to do so if plain explain produced semi-readable results rather than just dumping everything into plan_table in a non-human-friendly format. But having the GUI tree (expandable/collapsible) is very helpful for complicated plans. And the explanation of each type of step is useful if you're inexperienced in CS algorithms. (What's a merge join? Is it good or bad performance-wise? There are plenty of database people around who can't answer that without looking it up.) Oracle's tool shows this in the lower part of the window whenever you select a step, so looking it up is already done. The others...I don't use them much, but my coworkers do. If remembering the structure of the data dictionary and syntax for DDL commands isn't your thing, these sorts of tools are nice. Scott
