I don't know MySQL, but I use InterBase SQL server from Borland /
Inprise / InterBase Corp.  There is a freeware version for Linux
available from <A  HREF="http://www.interbase.com/">http://www.interbase.com/</A>

Having compared it to Oracle, Microsoft SQL, Sybase and Informix, I
believe it is one of the best servers around.  I'd suggest looking
into it if you decide on pursuing the SQL idea.

I have not used SQL on the server side, but do use it on my client
side.

Regards,

Ian Macintosh
