If than why there is duplication of efforts by internet resource?? Please check this out - may be this info will be useful for you. PostgreSQL Version 6.1 is free database, complete source code is given to you and is a Relational Database System compliant with ANSI SQL92 and SQL89 and runs on diverse hardware platforms and Operating systems. Millions of PostgreSQL is installed as data servers, data center servers, Web databases, WWW http database servers and application servers. PostgreSQL is the ONLY FREE database in the world which supports ANSI SQL standards like SQL92, SQL89, ISO SQL. It is much more advanced and is a object oriented relational database. PostgreSQL can store more data types than traditional datatypes like integer, characters,etc. - it can store object datatypes like classes (Version 7.0 will make this capabilities more advanced). PostgreSQL runs on Solaris, HPUX, AIX, Linux, Irix, and all flavors of unix. Port to Windows 95/NT is underway. Regression test package is included in the distribution and let your computer do the verfication for you to check if all the ANSI SQL commands run as per technical specifications.

Seems to be quite a push for PostgreSQL at the moment on the net. Now they're even hunting down mailing lists... I'd be interested (and maybe others on this list, too) to hear any testimonials from you guys if you think there is any foundation to PostgreSQL superceding LEAP... I'm almost honoured by the suggestion that LEAP and PostreSQL are similair. Wow. Must be more functionality hidden away in my 'C' code than I was aware... ;-) Regards, Richard. -- Richard Leyton, Sometime SA and DBA x6503 Data Services, GT-E +44 (0)171 721 6503 [SNIP] There was a large number of bounced e-mails at this stage.
