I did not catch the earlier part of this thread, but let me throw in my favorite db: FrontBase http://www.FrontBase.com/ It is native software, but runs on many Unixes, MS Windows, and Mac OS X, with a most excellent GUI admin tool for Mac OS X. It includes an excellent free JDBC driver (the best I've seen actually). FrontBase fully supports Unicode, and even uses Unicode internally for storing data. It is a commercial product, but has a free developer license, and a free deployment license (with some restrictions such as no backup feature). FrontBase is a mature, complete SQL database without the glaring holes in functionality that you'll find in hsqldb, Postgres, and MySQL. FrontBase stands out in its commitment to following standards, most especially the SQL92 standard. The makers of FrontBase go so far as to consider Date's book "A Guide To The SQL Standard" to be their documentation. http://www.bookpool.com/.x/isppqxs3im/sm/0201964260 --Basil Bourque -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
