mySQL is now a very robust db engine. w/ Version 5.0 they support
triggers/sprocs (stored procedres) and of course transactions. I have not
had a chance to load it and play with the system but you can bet I will. I'm
acctually looking forward to "Base" (Open Office desktop db) it supports
connecting to Access, (for data/ not code nor reports). For me the idea of
such a move is to help move some sql server databases to mysql because they
really do not justify begin in MSSQL. I'd rather save those licenses for our
enterprise db's
