I doubt your installbase is a quarter of Monty's, and Monty doesn't need more users
Everyone with a FS system uses it.

It runs Slashdot - Gee how is that.
It ran my Medical School Clinic with over 60 million records, read and wrting
constantly, out of the box with almost no changes.
I ran an industrial plant with it and their labeling system.

Yeah - Oracle is a Dream -- NOT
Do you want is small and light or a monster like Oralce which avises a

Like one line in DBI, give or take a correction for non-complient SQL
in Oracle

This just scuks. Both those methods are more inefficent than anything else
I can think of. ODBC is a complete non-starter. It's FAT, a resource and network
hog, inflexible and flatout insecure.
Other than that, it's fine.

MORE IMPORTANTLY - The zillions of secretaries using ACCESS don't need it.
This is called playing both ends against the facts and the truth.
As I said, this is NOT open for debate. No MYSQL support and the product is
a non-starter.

Your TALKING to one and you just don't get it. DBA's don't install
ACCESS into their practices. It comes preinstalled with the BOX
and the secretary makes the decision.
YEESH
I guess you haven't noticed this trend.
