If you're just looking for an alternative, I would recommend PostgreSQL. /usr/ports/databases/postgresql or http://www.postgresql.org MySQL is another popular alternative, but if you're used to a feature rich RDBMS like DB/2, you'll probably be more comfortable with PostgreSQL than MySQL. They carry different licenses too, which you should read and be aware of. -Mark -- Mark Mayo <mark@vmunix.com> http://www.vmunix.com/mark "The reason why bad things happen to you is because you're a dumbass!" - Red Foreman, That 70's Show To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
