No problem. What they are using right now is Microsoft Access, connecting via ODBC to a server on line. The cool thing that they can do is have several tables linked together. Like if a certain field is updated in one table, it updates the same info automatically in another table. So, i want to reproduce this in MySQL, but i can't seem to find out how. Is there a way to pull this off on the server side ? or does that have to be done on the client side ? thanks for any tips. hello there,

Also to gain 'acceptance' i think it's necessary to fit-in before you can stand out. There’s nothing wrong with emulating leaders, it’s like software mentoring.

Those guys at MySQL never really wanted stored procedures in the beginning. Ruby on Rails is sure interesting, but there are a lot of PHP/MySQL developers out there who want everything in the package and so demand it in those two products... Yes Open Source often plays the catch up game. That is because young people learning their trade go there to learn. In the Drupal community I've seen that happen. Young innovators start businesses! Also: What's wrong with a free alternative - albeit a generation old? My comment: If Microsoft released their old versions as freeware (not open source - they wouldn't want that - and users don't care anyway), they would harm the OS world more than they would harm Microsofts new versions.

You are right that stored procedures, triggers and views were added for reasons of feature parity. But look beyond those features and you will find new goodies in MySQL 5.0 that you may not find elsewhere such as archive and federated storage engines. Let us know what else you would need! Kind regards, Marten, MySQL AB Peter,
