At least in some previous versions, I understood MySQL could not do the 
following:

WHERE ID IN (12,45,78,999,etc)

Apart from this (if the limitation still exists, for which there's a 
workaround) how practical would it be to have the "offline updateable 
version of the database" in SQL7 and the "online read-only version of the 
database" (updated once a day) in MySQL

That is, how practical is to export a DB from SQL7 and import it into MySQL 
on a daily basis?

In addition, I understand MySQL's reputation is that it's very fast on read 
type SQL.  Are there any agreed-upon benchmarks in addition to the 
conventional wisdom?

best,  paul


PS> Rob: Do you have any thoughts on TextDB for full-text indexing?  It 
does seem fast to me.  http://www.webest.dk
