There is no specific objection to SQL. There is a general objection to adding more utilities to the base system unless a _very_ good case can be made for including them. So far, no-one has made a compelling reason to include SQLite (or other SQL engine) into the base system. SQLite does appear to be a potential candidate for the base system - the license is acceptable and it is relatively small. On the downside, SQLite is currently undergoing rapid development - at a rate much faster than FreeBSD can comfortably accomodate. >Anyway, in this case, would writing an RPC server to own the data kill the >performance? That depends on how everything is implemented. It doesn't really solve the underlying problem that a database is needed. -- Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
