What is wrong with a mixture of C++, Python and Pascal? Nothing IMHO. 2.) The directory structure is probably the consequence of the development tools (produced automatically). Such a structure can have advantages, too. 3.) I left Germany 6 years ago. I don't know what happened in the meantime, but at that time (and the past 10 years before that) virtually any major business and the majority of large hospitals were running on SAP. AFAIK, similar in other european countries. Complaints about the horrendous price structure (par with Oracle) - yes. Complaints about crappy user interfaces - yes. Complaints about arrogant support team - yes. But *no* complaints regarding data integrity, robustness, and almost no complaints regarding performance. Therefore, I think it should not be disregarded too quickly. There is certainly something to learn from it by studying it; that would be probably more productive than using the same time just thinking about own design. (Maybe start looking at their developer manuals, which are *really* helpful if you want to develop something with SAP). I can't help it (as much as I admire Postgres, and as much as I like using it), but I always perceive a certain air of arrogance blowing from this list - a feeling I don't get from other open source projects. I might be wrong here. Regards, Horst
