I have administered MySQL, PGSQL, Microsoft's SQL product, and SQLite. Do I really want to learn another DB just for one lousy access point? And I do not like software that gives you no choice in databases. If they really want to be turnkey and user friendly, they should go with SQLlite, and have an option to upgrade to something heavier for those who need it. We will see whether I return it in a few days. -- "When we talk of civilization, we are too apt to limit the meaning of the word to its mere embellishments, such as arts and sciences; but the true distinction between it and barbarism is, that the one presents a state of society under the protection of just and well-administered law, and the other is left to the chance government of brute force." - The Rev.
