It seems to truly amazing how little interest this has attrated.
From the SAP web site
"SAP DB is an open, SQL-based, relational database management system that provides high availability and performance scaling from small to very large implementations.
In addition, SAP DB goes beyond relational database technology by offering object orientation as well as support for managing unstructured data. It supports open standards including SQL, JDBC and ODBC; access from Perl and Python; and HTTP-based services with HTML or XML content.
SAP DB is platform independent, so users can deploy it for a wide array of projects."
Sounds v good. Has anyone of you experts:) played with it?
I have user Perl::DBI/Oracle _and_ SQLServer + ADO + VB over three years. The ms is solution is much nicer to work with. In any case, MySQL is just a toy. Really your choice for a real db are Oracle, SQLServer or Postgress. Both Access and MySQL are for numbties.
> let me remind you that no one is talking about taking your precious command line away Nope. Just my freedom. I want free (speech) tools on a free (speech) platform. I'll stick with GCC not because I love the command line (I don't) but because I love my freedom. With effectively zero market share on Windows, Borland have nowhere else to go but Linux. Tough - I wont touch their tools because they're just another vendor of proprietary lock-you-in crap.
...With a rod of iron! Bye bye suckers, off you trot to copyright slavery. My God - slashdotters why are you so keen to sell out to Apple. Don't give up your freedom for a mess of eye candy.

Because in our day to day work we _have_ to work with windows - and I for one don't want to. I want windows TO GO AWAY.
