Also you do realise that this is a security risk opening a channel to the database server like this, therefore i wouldnt advise anyone to do this on a production server. There are also other possibilities in this theme that would work that would also present security risks. cheers Pete Very nice Laurent but can you also do it in Windows? - possibly I guess with cygwin but the I/O I know doesnt work as well as Unix.
