But unlike Firebird and PostgreSQL one can rather simply port SQLite to a new platform. And I also like the idea of virtual tables. So in that sense the ZMSQL you posted might be a compareable alternative if now one only adds support for virtual tables, adds some other nice features like triggers (or do they exist already?) and improves the performance :D Regards, Sven
