A cute little application that we did with > it can be seen at *Alot* of changes since v6.1.1 and v6.2, and even more of a difference between v6.2 and v6.3 (to be released)...in alot of ways, it would be like comparing apples to oranges. Working from v1.01 (Berkeley's virgin code) thru to v6.0/v6.1 was alot of bug fixes and stability...few other things were really focused on. v6.1 and beyond have been spent more bringing in missing standard SQL and improving performance, as well as resource utilization. When I upgraded my server from v6.1.1 to v6.2, one of the WWW projects that I'm working on (www.ncres.com) showed a massive improvement in response time to queries...enough so that the client actually commented on it.
