Oh yeah, there are folks using them bigtime. I know that Univ of Alaska uses it to track salmon schools by satellite since the Valdez messed up the fishing industry. Many of the satellite companies contract the OO database stuff. -Phil

I don't know of anyone who is still using Illustra today, but these sound like your typical stored procedures (and possibly executed via triggers). > Are the "blades" still being used for the OO side of AolServer? I don't think many folks are using OORDBMS'es today, are they? Folks in the Java world use frameworks like Hibernate to make marshalling of OO data to and from RDBMS's easier, but I'm not familiar with any really popular OORDBMS in widespread use today. However, stored procedures and triggers are quite popular and (IMHO) overused in many RDBMS'es that have them available as features, yes. -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
