Dave, Really, I do understand completely what you are saying about the licensing. My hands are tied. If I had the choice I'd drop microsoft in a heartbeat. Mysql 5 has come A LONG way. Our shop is too engrained in the Microsoft model to switch though. It just justifying the cost from moving to SQL7 to SQL2005 to my boss. Right now I think I am better off trying to get them to OK a SQL2000 purchase with a 4 processor license....
