Monty might be somewhat upset if he heard you say that. Are you sure you've worded your question correctly? MySQL-AB is the company that develops MySQL and they'll sell you support contracts if you'd like, or sell you MySQL under a different license than the GPL if that's what you need.

It is the only one of the 4 listed above that has a native FreeBSD port, so will probably be the easiest to install. -- Bill Moran Potential Technology http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
