Sorry, but quoting Stonebraker (who has a *financial* interest in his statement), is pointless. Similarly, you can't directly compare his concepts to your case. IMHO, you're trying to get buy-in. In this group, unless you have a patch that proves something, you're generally out of luck. My suggestion is to start coding. You will find, as I did, that DSM is a better solution. -- Jonah H.
