It seems that the Breeze "server" provides a back door channel for marketing of microsofts sql server and the majority of the remaining functionality could be delivered via an apache module. In view of the enormous benefits that Macromedia have gained from having their major product flash generously supported by the open sourtce community. I really feel the way they have structured their Breeze product line is a slap in the face to everyone who has worked to make flash adoptable by the open source community. I just wonder if anyone on this list has taken a look at the Breeze product range. I would dearly love to see an open source answer to Macromedia's "Breeze server" and its tool set. Its sole reliance on sql and its failure to provide a mysql/postgres interface could pehaps be offset by one of the tools that convert sql calls to mysql. I have no idea about how the remainder of the tool set could be replicated. david -- 40 yrs navigating and computing in blue waters.
