I find it interesting because RealSQLServer isn't brought up as a
possibility. Is this because of the stultifying pricing scheme or
does it have issues that I'm not aware of?

This is an interesting thread. I too built a client-server DB using
PostgreSQL running on an Xserve and Aliacta's pgsql4rb plugin. It
runs fine, but I shudder every time I need to update the back-end
server (so I usually don't). I have text, PICTs, binary data, etc...
in the DB that is now > 1.5 GB.
If I had to do it again, would people recommend Valentina as a
multi-user solution? I also need to write a single-user desktop app
that needs a DB engine. Again, Valentina?
I gather Valentina does not need to "escape" binary data into ASCII
SQL command strings (true?) so that would make binary data
transactions much quicker?
Advice?

There were many times, someones on this mailing kept
on suggesting to use Postgres w/ RB. I tried it and
found that it has so many features similar to
commercial product like Oracle. The product is very
stable and comes with a Windows installer and easy to
use. It's license policy is extremely generous.
What I don't understanding is why people still want to
pay commercial products such as Valentina. Is there a
problem w/ Postgres that that I need to be aware of?
Can some body explain?
Thanks
