Thats correct. This article gives a little insight into what they are doing: http://www.internetweek.com/story/INW20010427S0010 Yahoo use it extensively for content for Web sites, etc.But they > also used Oracle extensively, last I knew. Last I checked the only place that mysql is used was in the yahoo finance section, and it is used exclusively to power read only content. They do have plans to use it in this capacity in other areas, but for their heavy read/write stuff the use oracle. Robert Treat -- Build A Brighter Lamp :: Linux Apache {middleware} PostgreSQL
