This is the whole point: sqldb and msesqldb - which is a copy, after all - would better be merged and maintained as one. We would double the expertise. > I spent about 150-200 hours to find, report and fix bugs in the FPC DB area > BTW. :-) Which I appreciate: There are indeed 15 bugs in Mantis about this. (spending on average 10-13 hours per bug is a lot) But it doesn't explain why you decided to fork the code, when I see no good reason for this: - The user base for each set of components gets smaller. - People don't know what to use. - The maintainers are divided over too much code. So, once more, I propose to 'merge' whatever you need so we can develop a decent set of components, suitable for all. What do you think ?
