["Carlos Corzo" <carlose@xxxxxxxxx>]

If a RAQ3 is not supposed to use POSTGRESS because that is what the server
is based on, what am I supposed to use?  MySQL?  The only other option is to
write PERL scripts and simulate a database and that is not good.  We
upgraded from a RAQ2 to a RAQ3 to have the option of database programming.

If anyone can add insight to this, it would be great!

Thanks.
