Just one comment. If you are using MySQL, there would be no "testing burden...against several database backends." The protocol, commands, connection methods, etc, are identical. A client on Windows, Mac, or *nix can talk to a MySQL server on a Windows, Mac, or *nix server, and will never know the difference. All it knows it that it is connecting to port 3306 and it's talking to a MySQL server. There is no difference among operating systems. j----- k----- -- Joshua J.
