I would say it's ease of use and the fact that it's free more than make up for speed. We also have Oracle 7.1 and the Sapphire/Web gateway installed but I find myself filling most of our needs with Postgres95 and perl scripts. The Postgres95 community is also very active -- one could almost say it's the "Linux of RDBMSs" :) You can check out the Postgres95 page at: http://s2k-ftp.CS.Berkeley.EDU:8000/postgres95/ cheers -- wallace winfrey sysadmin, nicar/ire wally@nicar.org
