Thank you for the help, bye. Rocael ____________________________________________________________________ Get free email and a permanent address at http://www.netaddress.com/?N=1

(There's supposed to be a more graceful error message about that, but it doesn't work quite right in 7.0.* :-(.) Were you trying to change BLCKSZ? If so you need to initdb. regards, tom lane
