This system is a UNIX branded system. But is very weird. Mainly in that it does not use ASCII or Unicode, but another coding sequence called EBCDIC. Dr. Hipp already had the EBCDIC code in SQLite. And, despite not having access to a z/OS system (as I understand it), the code compiled and ran cleanly on z/OS "out of the box".

The only other RDMS which I have used on the aforementioned system, which was not especially designed for it (DB2), is Derby (pure Java implementation). SQLite is, IMO, much nicer. And it is definitely much less of a "hog". > > Marc > > -- The temperature of the aqueous content of an unremittingly ogled culinary vessel will not achieve 100 degrees on the Celsius scale.
