The main code does not need to know what database it's talking to. It's the standard mysql API - it just goes through an abstraction layer than handles the differences between databases. Mysql 3.23 was the last usable version... All other database manufacturers allow linking to their client APIs without a special license. Mysql requires you to buy a commercial license to do so, and that's just not going to happen, so support is being depreciated, and will eventually be dropped. Tony
