John, The Mephisto style for assets sounds good, but plain or direct use of their code could be difficult. They store the assets on the file system, on contrary that your desire to leverage only on DB to distribute everything for Radiant. Maybe the way they choose to use it could change your mind. -- Luis Lavena Multimedia systems - Leaders are made, they are not born.
