Dear Calle, I�m sorry if I gave you the impression that the analisys was mine. It is not! It is from someone with a bias to MySQL (I lost the link to where I foud it). The other message I sent had an analisys with someone biased to PostGRESql.
You can also find more information about PostGRESql at www.dbexperts.net Thse guys are from Brazil and they offer a commercial version of PostGRE for Windows and Mac at a reasonable price (plus support) Regards, John ------------------------------------------------ John L.
