Hello, The reason I used MySQL is for simplicity on the client end, there is a perl module Net::MySQL that requires no extra libraries to be installed on the machine, unlike Postgres module, and the Database routines used by this program are hardly database intensive. It's easy enough to install the Windows MySQL server in about 5 minutes on a machine somewhere on your network to test this out if you like. If you don't use the optional call loggin part of the client then you will probably never have more than 200 records in the MySQL database at any given time.
You can even run this on the same machine you are running PostgreSQL if you like, the processor usage of the MySQL database machine if it is the only thing running with 60 astGUIclient computers connected and 2 Asterisk servers updating line records is about 0.2%, and the load average stays at 0.00 and that is on a PII 450. It would hardly hurt the performance of any machine you put it on. I use PostgreSQL on the backend of our company's financial transactional system (1 million+ transactions per week) and I love it(can't wait to see if 7.4 is really any faster:) ), but PGSQL is overkill for the client app, and the overhead on the client machine side(libraries/modules or server app middleware) needed to facilitate PostgreSQL is too much.

I am anxious to run it, but probably not going to switch backend DB servers in order to do so. I suspect there will be others with the same attitude. Thx.
