Hi Jay
You need to evaluate your own needs before making a decision about the database. I don't think you can directly compare Post and the REALSQLServer because they are intended for different audiences. But, to throw in my 2 cents: Install Post and get it up and running, then install REALSQLServer. Now imagine talking on the phone to a client 2000 miles away, who is not a computer person, and getting Post set up. Argh.
VNCOSX - Connecting to VNC running on a support server. I regularly support clients in Dallas, which is way more than 2000 miles away.
RSQLS wins that one hands down. Now imagine if something goes wrong with the database: I can pick up the phone and call RS and say 'Geoff, the server is down, help'. Postgres is well supported, but you can't really 'call' someone if you need immediate help.
If you want commerical support for Postgres you just buy it.
Pricing: Post is 'free' - which is great. However, you give up direct support of a product often times when it is free. I would rather pay for the product and have direct line to Geoff's cell phone :-)
I've been using postgres for 6+ years, no hassles at all. -- Keith Hutchison http://balance-infosystems.com http://realopen.org _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
