Sheese ... you'd think I could live more comfortably then. Considering I have experience with MySQL, MSSQL, PostgreSQL, PHP interfaces, FoxPro, as well as perl and C. I must be promoting myself poorly. But I don't disagree that those languages are popular. I don't see what the big deal is about moving from one version of SQL to another. It is a bit of a slowdown to learn the idiosyncrosies of a new SQL server, but not debilitating or anything. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the messagehelp
