The later one is very light and implements only small subset of SQL , the former one is much more powerful and extensible. The only problem with the first one is that to my knowledge all development on it was canceled ( grant issue). Both have Perl modules , so one can very nicely build 'em into cgi-bin scripts. Apache ppl were even talking about building in native mSQL support into their HTTP server. Rashid.
