Back then there were no foreign keys only oids and that was painful if you wanted to do some examples from your databases coursework from uni times :) I'll give it a whirl. -- Nicolai P Gubahttp://www.gnu.org http://www.frontwire.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] GSM: +44 (0)7909 960 751 DDI: +44 (0)20 7368 9708
Re: Support for MySQL
Yup . . . it sure is. I use it as well as oracle and db2 for cross compliance testing. As far as it being a 'success story', i personally wouldn't use it as a production RDBMS. But that's just MNSHO. peace - scot weber Nicolai P Guba wrote: Hmmm, I've found that PostgreSQL is supported. Has anybody got any success stories with mySQL?

Re: Support for MySQL
The latest releases (as of 3.23.34a) of MySQL support transactions by using Berkley DB. I'm using MySQL at the moment. The main anoyance I've got is that it doesn't have sub-selects, apart from that, works great. I haven't tried using transactions though as my data is read only.

I would suggest another database to try would be SAP DB (www.sapdb.org) which is an open source database delivered by SAP AG - I love it. There is a sap database schema in the orion download. --- Nicolai P Guba [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hmmm, I've found that PostgreSQL is supported. Has anybody got any success stories with mySQL?
