MiniSQL (mSQL) v1 is nice and solid, but is rather limited in data types (ints and strings only) and keys (single primary key only). Version 2 is in beta FT and it is certainly more functional, but it might be stretching a point to say "solid" not having tried it out myself! This I will be doing shortly... There are other commercial db's for which you will pay a lot more than mSQL but I can't make any recommendations not having tried any. Look in the packages area of the FreeBSD distributions (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/) under databases... Tony
