Subject Re: Searchable message base of this forum

Markus,

I'm sure there would be many people interested in the idea of an
easily searchable archive of this group's traffic (if it was more
efficiently searchable than the Yahoo Group itself is).

I've been spending the past few months evaluating relational
databases for my own business. I work with Oracle professionally,
but I'm going to base my business on Firebird or Postgres. I sure
would love to be able to have access to your archive as a
agglomeration of this group's traffic (even 18 months of traffic
would probably be able to answer the bulk of my questions). Don't
get me wrong - it is great to see so much activity in this group.
Gives me a good feeling about plumping for Firebird.

Might I suggest that you upload the mailbox into the files section of
the group? I don't know if that would breach some regulation on
filesize or not, but it would make it available to more people.
