there leaning toward going with Corel Linux and on the debian site there are MS SQL OBDC drivers. So there is a lean in that direction, although all this is in the planning stage. I have a FreeBSD Server set up with InterBase that I use as a test server. I use a Delphi app to pump the data from a MS SQL to Interbase, but the powers that be don't want to risk that. We are a mental health insurance company and are main application used by 150+ care managers is a powerbuilder app that runs off of MS SQL server! So MS SQL server is going no where. > -----Original Message----- > From: 'Alfred Perlstein' [SMTP:bright@wintelcom.net] > Sent: March 06, 2000 2:51 PM > To: Person, Roderick > Cc: 'advocacy@freebsd.org' > Subject: Re: Help me turn the enterprise to FreeBSD! > > * Person, Roderick <personrp@ccbh.com> [000306 11:43] wrote: > > not mysql.
