Heh. Well, note that I didn't go into *why* it boggled my mind (in the first draft of my e-mail, I did, but then decided to go ahead and delete that part). Personally, even for the biggest sites I've run, I've never needed a full-fledged enterprise level database. If I did, though, I'd probably go with Oracle or some other vendor, if only because we're a Linux shop and I'd prefer to avoid a multiplicity of platforms. Of course, Oracle has its own issues; among them, the corporation is run by a madman bent on world domination, who makes Hank Scorpio look like a smalltime crook. Hm, one organization that I interact with which has enterprise scale database needs uses PostGreSQL, another FLOSS product; however, I'm not sure if that one is available for 'doze. -- Richard S.
