I wouldn't call Oracle "unstable." Expensive, yes, but a bad decision -- I don't think so. I've used MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle in production environments, and frankly, the open-source alternatives DON'T stack up (I haven't tried SAPDB, which *is* GPL and *is* supposed to be certified for R/3). --- Orlando Andico <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Mosaic Communications, Inc. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
