that's why i wrote "from a programmers point of view" SAP has bought the right to use the AdabasD Source Code from SAG a while ago (SAG AdabasD is one of the few SQL Databases you can run SAP R/3 on, and it was the first of the 'big players' databases to be ported to Linux, way ahead of Oracle and Informix). The idea behind the whole SAP DB stuff seems to be to have an alternative to Oracle around, jsut in case ... ;) SAP DB and AdabasD are now seperate products and the code bases have forked, but SAP and SAG still work together so it is very hard to distinguish the two products from one another. They are far more similar than eg. the Sybase and Microsoft servers have been in the 90ies AFAIK the original codebase for SAP DB was AdabasD 6.x, while current AdabasD version is 11.x, but the differences from 6.x to 11.x are not as big as the version numbers suggest, and a lot of stuff added to AdabasD after 6.x should have been available to SAP developers, too -- Hartmut Holzgraefe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.six.de +49-711-99091-77 Wir stellen für Sie aus auf der CeBIT 2002 und freuen uns in Halle 6 auf Ihren Besuch am Stand H 18 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
