I thought it was a Mac specific Database :-b

What about PrimeBase on the windows platform (I know shot me later)
I went to one site and it didn't mention Win2k, the site could be old.

With the work that you have put into it, would sway me to use it.

I don't know about Postgre, but not only does PrimeBase handle large
text
fields, but it has a feature called "index words" that will allow you to
index large text fields by word. It works great.

PrimeBase has a great way of handling blobs for text and binary info.
There
are varbin, and varchar fields, but they are limited to a 32K per row
limitation. Varchar and varbin fields are stored within the actual table
file in the database, and therefore fall under this limitation. However,
there are longbin, and longchar fields which primebase stores in
separate
files, so they are only limited in size by the filesize limit of the
operating system.
