Oh yeah, don't get me wrong. I looked at it for a couple of weeks and was REALLY impressed. Adam and David have done incredibly strong work. They probably picked the correct databases to support in the beginning too, given the limited resources... If I could change what I use at work to fit aro

That's the one problem I can't get around with PLUM. As soon as they can support MySQL, I will certainly revisit the possibility of using PLUM. You know, come to think of it, I wonder if the new Oracle Express free version would work with PLUM; maybe I'll go check that out. Express is 10g and P

Yep, you're correct about only the IDE requiring windows. But PLUM itself only supports MSSQL, Access and Oracle 9i. Granted, Oracle isn't Windows-only, but it's also massively non-free. You might be able to develop on one of those, and then deploy to something else, but it'd undoubtedly be a bu

Sadly "doesn't mind working on a windows machine" rules out a lot more than just Sean. Not to belittle the work they've done in any way (from what I understand, it's pretty impressive), but using Java, Ruby, Python, etc. rather than .NET would have made for a much larger target audience. Java see
