Before reading on, have you considered the following: - using an RDB requires a running RDBMS - running an RDBMS requires memory and cpu usage - in case of an upgrade RDBMSs often dump there databases and import them. What will happen when the upgrade fails during this? No package database would be really bad - copying parts of the database to another system, or patching it is not as easy as it is with plain files Regards, Joey -- Testing? What's that?
