Hi Adrian,
We only used the released versions of each database. We'd be happy to run
the tests again when MySQL 3.23 is official, or when Interbase ships a
real ODBC driver for 6.0 for that matter.

Could someone please send me some examples of the interval data type?
For example, what should the data look like in order to do and insert?
If I have two iso time stamps, how can I insert them into the interval
datatype? What are some ways to format the output of an interval type?

I'm trying to build a library for PG to add some new types. I have suceeded
to do it with no problems, but I would like to autoconf/automake the
library, so I don't have to hard code the path for resources files,
installation points, etc...
Can anyone provide me with a standard configuration:

That's very helpful. Can you also tell us if Proprietry 1 or Proprietry
2 was definitely NOT MS-SQL Server?
Thanks. I figured out the CAST later but didn't know the 1.1::numeric
syntax.

I would like to be able to use searches that seem somewhat intelligent.
Can you 'ORDER BY' number of matching 'OR' clauses? For example, someone
searches for "x y z", so I would do "select * from mytable where col1
like '%x%' or col1 like '%y%' or col1 like '%z%';", but I want it to
order by
