Not really. If you're looking for free/open source, your primary choices are probably: MySQL - http://www.tcx.se/ MiniSQL - http://www.hughes.com.au/ PostgreSQL - http://www.postgresql.org/ Not one of them yet cover the entire ANSI spec, but if standards compliance is a priority, PostgreSQL is probably your best bet. It's also the only one of the three completely unencumbered by a quasi-commercial licence. -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
