In my case, because I am very familiar with Oracle, somewhat less so with PostgreSQL, and much less familiar with most other databases. Also, because databases like Oracle and PostgreSQL are the current gold standard for functionality. Why compare to anything less? > In this regard, how does SQLite compare with Access/FoxPro/Paradox/dBase ? Because none of those are Real Databases? ;) [Joking, joking...] Well, MOSTLY joking. Actually, I've no idea to what extent those each qualify as "Real Databases" (aka, full ACIDity, featureful, designed and implented by folks who have a clue, etc.). However, I am reasonably sure that they're neither as powerful as PostgreSQL nor as small and simple as SQLite, and that none of them are Open Source. Therefore, they are not particularly interesting - not to me anyway. -- Andrew Piskorski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.piskorski.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
