MySQL 4.x has added the spatial data types as well (which are really cool for GIS applications). PostgreSQL has the higher end features MySQL is missing (triggers, stored procs, etc) but one big issue with it right now is that it can't natively run on Windows servers -- though each release promises that the *next* one will. (And to make Jochem happy, you *can* run it on Windows under cygwin. Or Vmware) :) Regards, John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/TransitionPoint ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
