Hi A.J.
I'm not trying to start a flame war or anything - purely trying to get
informed. :-) Have you ever thought of using Firebird RDMS. Very
simple installation and all. I use it in our commercial apps with the
fblib components and it is rock solid.
Maybe I just don't get it, but why do most open source projects seem
to jump to MySQL. When I compared the features between MySQL and
Firebird, it looked like Firebird was quite a bit ahead. Maybe it was
just the features I deemed important to my work.
Regards,

Okay I did a bit of looking around.
It seems there are different units for every single mysql version in the
world - and ipso facto the program compiled with one version of mysql won't
work with future ones... OUCH.
Now firebird is a damn big nightmare to get running, oracle is hugely
overpriced, most of my users despise postgres (as anybody who is NOT a DBA
but needs a db-backed APPS tends to) ...
Is there anything left ?
Especially when network transparency is SO critical ?
