Then I should be more clear too. I never meant to rename it to an
existing database. I was meant to rename it to the name of our
product so that it would look like 1 package deal(example. ABC and ABC
Engine). Which is more accepted. The key word is not to call it a
"Database" engine. Even if it is one. Like I said, its a very silly
issue. And its becoming a growing issue. IT departments are starting
to get "lazy" or "God like attitude" and don't want deal with the
possible issue of support anything else that isn't on their "certificate".
