The OS should be picked based on the requirements of the database and rest of the system, not vice versa. I'm not saying I'm recommending SQL Server (or any other RDBMS for that matter). But determining the hardware and OS before the rest of the requirements are determined places artificial limits on the rest of the system. -- ================== Remove the "x" from my email address Jerry Stuckle JDS Computer Training Corp. jstucklex@attglobal.net ==================
