I bet they haven't tested it with a hundred thousand transactions per hour. That's what we did, and it failed after a few hours, repeatably. Maybe we set it up wrongly. PostgreSQL on Linux didn't even raise a sweat and probably would have kept chugging away for months or years. Hopefully the forthcoming native port of PostgreSQL on Windows will be as reliable - I expect it will be by the end of 2004. -- Tim C PGP/GnuPG Key 1024D/EAF993D0 available from keyservers everywhere or at http://members.optushome.com.au/tchur/pubkey.asc Key fingerprint = 8C22 BF76 33BA B3B5 1D5B EB37 7891 46A9 EAF9 93D0
