Henrik - At my company, some of the production people use MySQL and it seems to work fine for the specific purposes they put it. I think Jared did a good job of pointing out the limitations of these free databases. Not a lot of simultaneous updates, for example. Not good recovery. Study the limitations and if you can live with the limitations, go for it. Look at your Oracle licensing. If you have unlimited licensing on your server, then switching some tasks to a free database on that same server wouldn't save you any money. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
