Hi Will,

>There is a strong SQL Server sales campaign behind it

Actually my motives are much more community-based. There are too many people I know, respect, and care about around here to let them continue to use a dated data storage platform.

>He is a salesman first an excellent trainer second and then a developer.

WHOA!!! Hold on there a minute. When did I get greasy hair and an ugly sport coat??? < s > I'm not trying to sell anyone a used car. All I'm doing is advocating an obviously more secure, more scalable, and more stable data storage platform. (Thanks for the kind words about my training skills BTW)
