Sorry - part deux to my previous letter......

MIMER is the man (well only his head is left) who guides the well with the
water of eternal wisdom, in the well is the eye of Odin, which he (Odin)
had to give in exchange for a drink of the water.....So he's the keeper of
eternal wisdom. - well no more bed-time stories.

Maybe not a good idea, we don't want to get mixed up with the RDBMS called
MIMER (http://www.mimer.com/), which funny enough - very briefly compared,
has some similarities with IB - embedded invisible nature, minimal
administration, first to implement/introduce feature - and some large
customers (Volvo ...).

I didn't know anything about the product, until 5 min. ago, where I - while
looking for an old article written by Joe Celko praising IB - stumbled over
a part in one of his columns saying, and I quote :-)

"Even the smaller SQL vendors are in the game. Sysdeco Mimer AB in Uppsala,
Sweden, presented a version of its powerful DBMS Mimer for Linux at the
Internet World exhibition in Stockholm, November 1998. You can download a
complete developer license for Linux free from the Mimer Web site
(www.mimer.com). Mimer complies with the SQL standards and is the first
product to use the SQL/PSM procedural language."

If they do, punch them until they're back and blue"... :-)

Steffen - raving again.... zzzzzzzz
