Hi Baalbek, Athouh they are database editors, they are not relational database editors. Relational database engines fit some type of problems but others have found that RDBMS don't fit CAD data. They are just too slow and add complexity in mapping the 'natural CAD data formats' to the RDBMS table format. - Pad. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
