I doubt your installbase is a quarter of Monty's, and Monty doesn't need more users


Everyone with a FS system uses it.

It runs Slashdot - Gee how is that.

It ran my Medical School Clinic with over 60 million records, read and wrting
constantly, out of the box with almost no changes.

I ran an industrial plant with it and their labeling system.

Yeah - Oracle is a Dream --  NOT

Do you want is small and light or a monster like Oralce which avises a 
recompile of the kernel for more shared memory segments prior to install

Like one line in DBI, give or take a correction for non-complient SQL
in Oracle

This just scuks.  Both those methods are more inefficent than anything else 
I can think of.  ODBC is a complete non-starter.  It's FAT, a resource and network
hog, inflexible and flatout insecure.

Other than that, it's fine.

MORE IMPORTANTLY - The zillions of secretaries using ACCESS don't need it.

This is called playing both ends against the facts and the truth.

As I said, this is NOT open for debate.  No MYSQL support and the product is 
a non-starter.

Your TALKING to one and you just don't get it.  DBA's don't install 
ACCESS into their practices.  It comes preinstalled with the BOX
and the secretary makes the decision.

YEESH

I guess you haven't noticed this trend.
