Not compelling? Hey I know what you mean - years ago (1990?) I attempted to hook up hypercard with ODBC and a Butler server...all on macs. It was slow and horrible and was utterly unreliable. Certainly I would expect problems if you use ODBC; That was then.

But NOW I've found that rev SCREAMS as a MySQL client on a decent DSL or cable connection -- as good as any client out there - even my favorite 'CocoMySQL'.
Check out Sarah's MYSQL stack and try it with mySql. Chances are your ISP has it running, or available for your account.

awesome work Sarah... thanks

Of course a client server database of any kind can only be as fast as the server and connection.

I should ammend my previous post to say that in this case there isn't
anything compelling about using RR as an SQL front-end.  The fact that
it can be used as an SQL front-end is interesting, as it was when HC
could be used as a Sybase front-end (although it was damn-slow).  RR
as an ODBC client isn't compelling in comparison to other tools, i.e.
it doesn't  have anything extra that makes it a better ODBC client.
