Yes, it seems that there are no showstoppers so far. Your test package is a great thing and I really like it. Though, I hardly will be able to use it on Windows x86_64/ia64 because I'm not sure that there is TCL available for those architecture on Windows. A side note: from previous experience with some other DB engines I know that sometimes alignment issues are not minor at all. They can be deeply in on-disk format and sometimes it is difficult to avoid them without having to change the on-disk format. This is why I'm checking it out early in the game. So far, it seems to be OK. Thanks to you for that. P.S. As kind of access to additional hardware have you ever heard about HP testdrive machines?
