You'd be nuts not to include mySQL on that list. http://www.mysql.com We use it almost exclusively now with Lasso Pro 6 middleware. mySQL's security is extremely good, as it's open source so you have many many sets of eyes looking at, and generally speaking no licensing fees to pay to use it. It is also EXTREMELY quick - I'm talking Oracle fast here See http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,293,00.asp http://www.oracledeveloper.nl/newforum/files/ Server%20databases%20clash.pdf Are you guys in WA ? We're in Sydney. Cheers, Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------- Is SPAM over-loading your e-mail server, disk space or bandwidth?
