Granted I did'nt try testing it to see how well it worked but it is a start. Perhaps we should start a campaign to see if we can get Oracle or Sybase to do a port to FreeBSD. No, I am not holding my breath. :-) >On Tue, 22 Oct 1996, Jordan K. Hubbard wrote: > >> Date: Tue, 22 Oct 1996 17:23:40 -0700 >> From: "Jordan K.

Try loading 750,000 records into MSQL and see what happens.

There is also C-Tree. I have used it on a number of projects using FreeBSD. It's not bad. The down side is that C-Tree is a library of ISAM routines not a RDB. It has also gotten very expensive in the last year. It's now around US$900.00. When I bought it it was US$200.00. I understand that company that makes C-Tree (the name escapes me just now) has an SQL server but I have not worked with it and I think it cost around US$2,000.00.
