Martijn,
database market and nobody else could be heard. They set the agenda -
transactions are a waste of time, etc. Now they have to prove
themselves. One serious weakness is that their various claims are
(generally) true, but only on one back end, so if you want a mix of
features ... well there's Firebird.
Cheers,
Ann
