This tools are in rhdb package. No problem here. If i check the release note of rhdb 2.1 ( http://ftp.rhnet.is/pub/redhat/rhdb/2.1/en/iso/i386/RELEASE-NOTES ) : >2.

And i really appreciate the redhat participation to postgresql (BSD). I also want to know if "PostgreSQL - Red Hat Edition" will be available to rhlp. rhdb 2.1 is currently available to rhl 8.0 . As I understand, the difference between RHE and RHLP is in the support and RHLP is more sync with the upstream (no extended Attributes and no samba 3 (hum, sound strange) for example). If rhdb is a project and RHLP don't follow its upstream, we are now faced with a new question : What else ? RedHat should give more details. I don't want to see rh-httpd, rh-gnome, rh-samba, ... only available in RHE. Everyone here spend some time building a better RedHat system. RedHat get cash from RHE and its support. It was simple. Now I am a little confused. PS: sorry for my poor English. -- Féliciano Matias <feliciano matias free fr>
