I was simply trying to say that... The company I worked for was based in Boulder, CO, and that they had some serious financial issues that was unfortunately laid on my shoulders. The only way to solve it, IMHO, was to redesign the schema, which, of course, was not an option. How does this apply to Ruby? Well, I think if I knew Ruby then, I might have been able to alter the schema of the db correctly. BTW, if you need serious backup capability, check out http://www.spectralogic.com. And no, that's not a shameless plug. I assure you they will have nothing particularly good to say about me. Todd
