Is there any practical difference? Emmitt, For such cool and complex applications Oterro (version 2.5) and higher will be your BEST option. You should take full advantage of Oterro Site License you have. (yes, I know ..) Technically, Oterro is the full-blown "R:BASE Engine" without the front-end, forms, reports, labels and R> prompt. Oterro 2000 (ver 2.5 and higher) is able to operate in a complex multi-user environment at high capacity and high speed. In short, Oterro is the ODBC driver for the R:BASE database. The upcoming Oterro 2000 (ver 2.51), currently under private beta, also includes the following features: . Support for BEFORE and AFTER TRIGGERS . Procedure and Triggers can now CREATE, ALTER or DROP TABLES . Support for ALTER TABLE command in Stored Procedures . Support for CREATE SCHEMA command when working on systems with directories over 80 characters long and spaces . Support for SCONNECT and SATTACH commands in Stored Procedures . Support for creating OUTPUT FileName.Ext in Stored Procedures . Support for ODBC/JDBC Bridge for developing JAVA Applications . And a few more GOODIES, of course!
