It's a commercial product that happens to have a very liberal license allowing free use in most cases. If you do need to pay the license fees are better than mSQL's. They also have annual maintenance contracts available. I just realized that the name does make it sound cheesy in American, but this is a Finish company and "my" doesn't mean "mine". I think I heard that "my" are the initials of the primary developer's daughter. > www.openlinksw.com > b) The very expensive ODBC drivers I have for PostGre have a problem with > deleting from tables, everything else seems to work fine, but the access > control is kind of nonexistent (i.e. I use firewall rules). They very cheap odbc driver I have for mysql works fine :) And mysql's access control works too well. It's kind of a hassle setting it up but you don't need to worry about unauthorized access unless you specificly open it up.
