::: PostgressSQL 7.3
::: MS SQL Server 2K
::: Interbase 6 & 7
::: Sybase 12.5
::: Access 2K
:: 
:: You'd be nuts not to include mySQL on that list.
:: http://www.mysql.com
:: 
:: We use it almost exclusively now with Lasso Pro 6  middleware.
:: 
:: mySQL's security is extremely good, as it's open source so you have
:: many many sets of eyes looking at, and generally speaking no
:: licensing fees to pay to use it.
:: 
:: It is also EXTREMELY quick - I'm talking Oracle fast here
