Good question. We heard the same things when SapDB came out. SapDB was moved into the MySQL AB company and renamed MaxDB. I don't think there is any more community development of it, just like MySQL. Basically, what we have is quality code and a vibrant community. Those aren't easy to create. In fact, that's what makes open source powerful. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
