Hi Jay
Either way you have to open Port 5900 so you can VPN - is there
All you need to do is open up port 5500, at your site.
Postgressql is a great database - nothing wrong with it at all.
Agreed .
The REALSQLServer made more sense for our situation, point and click install, no command line, direct support from the same company that makes our chosen development environment.
I'm not arguing about the Real SQL server being a valid choice. It seems to be OK. I'm unlikely to give a more informed view of Real SQL server since it does not offer anything more than postgres does, other than an easier installation.
Case and point: Go to the home of the postgres database. http://www.postgresql.org Find a Mac installer. Hmmm. Find Mac GUI client tools. Hmmm. Ok, well go to the top of the page and do a search for Macintosh. Hmmmm. Ok, check out some of the 3rd party Macintosh Installers: http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/postgresql/ http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/postgres.html http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2002/06/07/postgresql.html Doing a search on versiontracker reveals a few more. Check them out. Now install and setup the REALSQLServer.
Part of your reasoning was the bottom line. Lets say you sell to 200 clients, at $500 USD per client That's $10000 USD to develop a Mac Postgres Installer, which could then be given back to the postgres community. If the installer was written with RB then that would be a great advertisement for RB as well. For each client thereafter you can decide where the extra $500 USD goes. -- 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>
