The package description is intended to describe the package, not advertise for it. Please rework with that in mind. Is Ingres an SQL database or something other? What SQL dialect does it speak? SQL99? SQL92? Subset of the latter? Advertise, if you must, actual features not present in the other database systems - PostgreSQL and mysql both are used in "a wide range of applications, from ad hoc queries to large-scale, mission-critical production applications which require 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week service.". PostgreSQL has clustering support and uses "the power of today's scalable multiprocessors" fully if configured properly. (I have not much experience with Mysql, but I bet its proponents will tell you that it does that, too.) cheers -- vbi -- Today is Prickle-Prickle, the 47th day of The Aftermath in the YOLD 3172
