Hello Mike, > Some people insist that if it is not chocolate, it is not ice cream.

Since I'm working in a company which is developing customized database applications I can tell you that everything but Oracle (and Sybase for smaller applications) is bullshit. It was said that MS SQL server has also the abilities nowadays to serve a real enterprise database and a friend told me that they are running DB2 because it is faster than Oracle, but hey they need to use it on their IBM servers because there are no other databases supported. And someone said that postgreSQL is an enterprise level database server, I never heard someone saying that MySQL is enterprise level. MysQL even doesn't support the full SQL syntax, so what do you mean with 'art'? The art of hacking around the lack of features??? So long, Gerrit -- =^..^=
