You know what I find depressing about this whole thread: with the exception of 1 (possibly 2) responses, a person who started this by asking a simple question, caused a bunch of so-called professionals to vent themselves and argue, the same way a bunch of teenagers would at McDonalds on a Friday night, trying to prove that their Ford's are better than the other persons Chevy.

All these database systems are tools to do a job, and if the tool works for you, then the tool is a good tool. It depends on the person using it.

I wonder of the originator of this thread ever got what he feels was a 'adequate response'?
