Hi,

I would like to be able to use my FreeBSD box as an SQL server, access the SQL
database from shell / perl / C++ etc. on the FreeBSD box itself, and be able
to access the SQL server via a remote Windows NT box (i.e. running ODBC
drviers).

I've looked at Postgress & mySQL - is what I'm trying to do possible at the
moment with either of these packages, or how close can you get to this
'ideal'? - Does anyone run anything similar?

I've also heard rumours that mySQL doesn't perform too well under FreeBSD? Can
anyone comment on this (or the performance of Postgress?)

Thanks in Advance,

Kp
