Ok so back to the other mentioned Firebird. I see from the web site this is also totally free which is good, open source, to me not an issue. Is it easy to use is more the point for me. I must admit I get fed up running round in circles with windows/exchange/sqlserver permissions. I well take you point about Linux but for me (again) I cant see programming that unless and easy ide wioth c# and asp.net comes along. Now you guys might know of one but I mean big time not a work in progress. Allen

Oh, just a reminder, when it comes to licensing concerns with PostgreSQL... _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
