Hi See http://osdir.com/Article6677.phtml Matt, you are a far better and more prolificprogrammer than me, and euSQL is a great piece of work, but anybody who wants to do serious (lightweight) SQL database programming, should look at SQLite, and Ray Smith's euSQLite database (updated and maintained by me). SQLite has flavours for windows and Linux, is extremely small, is very very fast, is web / CGI enabled, with many servers already offering it as a service, and, the most important one, euSQL is specific to euphoria, and as a consequence the databases are not transportable - SQLite has wrappers for perl, basic, ruby, python, delphi etc etc etc. I cannot possibly knock Matts efforts (please don't think this is some sort of ego trip competition type thing, its not), but RDS should be screaming from the rooftops that euphoria has SQLite wrappers available. Its small enough to use for day to day quick storage of stuff too. See the links at the bottom of the page.
