I know that's a commercial package but when I tried mSQL it was too limited, mySQL had no transactions and there were many problems between Postgresql (my first choice) and ODBC. I finally chose Yard. an evaluation version is available at www.yard.de. You can write your programs with either ESQL or CLI / ODBC. they have a support for PHP/FI 2.0. I've ported their PHP Interface to PHP 3.0 and I'm writing some extensions. (probably freely available in a few weeks [I have to check with Yard first (a part comes from their source code)]. -- Didier Derny didier@omnix.net
