I've been considering PostgreSQL for an application I am writing in .NET WinForms, and the app is intended to be standalone with occasional sync-ing with a web service.  I plan to use Sql Server for the web server (since I already have it available), but would like to use a DBMS with a smaller footprint on the client WinForms app -- thus PostgreSQL.

So is a good option for my intentions?


Question: How can I remove an existing Gradient Mesh from an object in Adobe Illustrator?
Answer: There is no effective way to simply remove a Gradient Mesh from an existing object. 

So, instead you need to regenerate an object which matches the original shape but without the mesh applied.


Select the Gradient Mesh object
choose Object &gt; Path &gt; Offset Path
enter a value of zero in the Offset field
click OK


This will create a new object which matches the shape of your original object. You can then simply delete the original Gradient Mesh object and start over on the new shape.
