Pike doesn't require any database, and should not depend on that list above. The fact that it includes drivers that allow you to *optionally* use the database is great, but taking every application, and forcing it to install as a 50 MB behemoth is wrong. Look at postgresql itself, which uses the USE_TCL flag to bring in tcl, as a good example of the *right* way to do it. > -- > > Just Do It > > Vanilla I.
