Thank you very much to everyone for their advice on this thread.
As luck would have it, my installation now appears to be working properly.
I've had one problem after the next; this last problem was with saving
dates. NSTimestamp was not saving the time portion of a date to the
database, it was getting stripped off.
So after receiving much advice and assistance through this distribution
list, I decided to give it another shot. So I started up the project ran
a quick test to convince myself that it really WASN'T working and found...
WHAM! It IS working! Go figure. Such has been my learning experience
with WebObjects and PostgreSQL :)
I really do appreciate your help. Until the next problem... :)
Thanks again.
