Jack, I like msql or mysql.  I've used msql more, and find it's Perl and C
APIs easy to use.  The author even has a Java API that I've also done some
stuff in.  FreeBSD has a recently updated port of it, and there are some
related Perl modules.  mySQL may be more robust, and I believe it has more
API support (i.e. Tcl).  In my opinion, msql is great.  Are you and
Murrell setting this machine up?  By the way, great choice with FreeBSD.
