Many thanks for your help and your excellent work creating gambas.

I'm going to handle the database setup outside of my gambas programm - and 
wait, until you find a solution for the EXEC-problem (or the database 
interface becomes better). 
 - Even with #hDB.exec("create table table (id serial primary key,...)")
   problems arise, because postgresql gives a warning on stderr.

Rolf
