Ziff-Davis have their collective heads so far up Microsoft's arse they should be called MS-Ziff-Davis. When they did their database shootout last year Oracle and MySQL blew away every other database tested (I mean they shamed them). So ZD ran a companion article that was longer than the shootout article that had some "special" SQL Server benchmarking to make up to M$... blatant arse kissing. It isn't about scientific method, it is about revenue. ZD makes their money from advertising, giving away their publications to get market share. They are not going to bite the hand that feeds them. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mike Bigley Maineville, Ohio http://www.norbertrunning.com Please support an American Indian Elder & Medicine Man by visiting the above link. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
