Hi, Jeff, I know Postgres on NT is not as stable as on a UN*X system so far. Some friends of mine works on NT platform, they just want to learn SQL, but you know, almost databases on NT are commercial, they are expensive and they cannot pay it just because they want to learn SQL, right? Now they can run PostgreSQL on NT, and study more fun :-) Becuase Postgres is *free* and *open source*, so that's why I port PostgreSQL to NT. > jeff -- `""""""' Kevin Lo "Use the Internet to | | kevlo@wahoo.com.tw it's fullest potential" OO--)| kevlo@FreeBSD.org \__ (_ | kevlo@kde.org /\ |____| http://www.freebsd.org/~kevlo (=(_>< \

If you know (or agree to learn) Python programming language I cannot resist to recommend you to try Gadfly. It is SQL engine written entirely in Python, and thus it is portable to any platform where python exists (DOS/Windows/UNIX/Mac/etc). It is free, it is small and simple, but powerful enough to use it even in commercial projects. To speed things up some internal parts had been rewritten in C, but I don't know how this work on NT (on UNIX it is pretty good). http://www.chordate.com/gadfly.html > > jeff Oleg. ---- Oleg Broytmann http://members.xoom.com/phd2/ phd2@earthling.net Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

It's very cool!!
