The former is not true - generic SQL expertise is far more plentyful and readily available than MSSQL specific expertise, and especially with high level expertise the air becomes thinner around MSSQL. The latter comes closer to the truth - the bundling and MS integration is what attracts the moths to the light - in that case the moths being inexperienced database application developers There is absolutely nothing you cannot do with PostgreSQL that you can do with MSSQL, and there is plenty you can do a lot more elegant and efficient woth PostgreSQL, and there are some important issues (like user defined data types, inheritance) that are simply not doable in MSSQL Horst _______________________________________________ Gpcg_talk mailing list [email protected] http://ozdocit.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gpcg_talk
