Well, I tried this package the other night, but all it did was coredump as soon as I attempted to run the self-tests. I downloaded it directly from the original site (didn't use a package / port). Then, after seeing that fail, I tried to make the port, but it shows up as "broken"...? However, to toss in an idea, I've used PostgreSQL for a while now and it has performed reasonably well in small applications (just my own code, etc... I don't know much SQL, so I haven't seen it firsthand on large applications). www.postgresql.org for more info -- drwho @ xnet.com -- http://www.xnet.com/~drwho/ "Freedom of government is good, but freedom FROM government is better."
