Searching for the letter "a" on google. "Results *1* - *100* of about *17,790,000,000* for *a*. (*0.16* seconds) " But yeah.... That isn't a MySLQ query. Gmail can be sluggish but I think it is more of a JS engine issue more than anything else. Better IDE and tools ( the MySQL enterprise tools, at least the ones I've > used, are all but a joke ). > > The MySQL software bundle is pretty crappy. I stopped using them years ago. I was never able to get the migration tools to work right. However, SQLyog, Toad for MySQL and the EMS tools rock IMHO. >> a genetic allergy to Microsoft. Now that is funny. But yeah, I moved to MySQL cuz it was free and I was a freelancer at the time. $5k is a lot of beer and donuts. But at the same time, I have been able to do things with DTS and SSIS that are pretty stunning. Like import a 25 meg MLS XML file in what I can only describe as being a blip. That was in 2003 though. I haven't looked at MySQL's tool set in that respect since then. G! -- Gerald Guido http://www.myinternetisbroken.com "To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk." -- Thomas A.
