Personally, I think sqlite needs to be integrated. It shouldn't take much to manage as it's incredibly tiny relative to any other database. Its also quickly becoming a standard among software developers due to its portability, ease of use, and adoption by organisations like Mozilla and companies like Apple. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "We don't have enough parallel universes to allow all uses of all junction types--in the absence of quantum computing the combinatorics are not in our favor..." --Larry Wall
