Re: [cobalt-developers] Fw: Interbase 6 SQL server & Cobalt

["William L Thomson Jr" <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would recommend stopping by Interbases site & at least downloading the PC
server & client & check it out.  I have not seen many others but its pretty
intense.  Its a nice mix of GUI & roll back the sleeves, coding.

I imagine the problem will be solved one day hopefully soon.  As for now I
have paused on my IB database.  I was really gettin into.  Oh well!  I just
might check out the PHP for postgresql, since that is installed & working on
the RaQ's.

I wouldn't let it put you of entirely,  I am happy with the all the other
features of the rack.  Plus the price is right since it comes with Software
like ChiliASP, 128 bit SSL, & more.

Up to you though, I co-locate mine.  That way if a bigger better one comes
out I can just move over to it.  Or have several with very little over head.
