I've limited experience with MS SQL Server though it seems, well, painful. I have used sybase in the past which was not that bad, annoying yes. MySQL is, to be frank, shittastic. I never understood the joy and awesomeness that some people think that it is made up of. Give me Oracle or Postgres. I love Oracle's SQL Developer program. In its latest incarnation it is pretty snazzy. --Larry _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
