Manuel, I know I have big ego needs. But you are no pushover yourself in this area. I must say that you never give up and always push your point-of-view, which does make sense, but isn't always inclusive of others. As I mentioned in another posting, I couldn't use Metabase anyway because I cannot see it handling 50 Gb Oracle databases well. I will use ADODB when I can, and native oci8 when I cannot. I have also learned to respect you as I can hardly believe that there is going to be a DB_Metabase in PEAR, but you seem to be pushing so hard that everyone is giving in to you. You are quite a guy!
