Re: Online database....how?

Mike, what are you talking about? I didn't specify any software company or dbms, and I didn't say it had to be a microsoft offering. I said "one of the larger database platforms." I chose those words to purposely include sybase, oracle, sql server, informix, etc. What are you talking about "my company"? I work for a university. We are not a company. Are you implying that people that use computers resent people that work in schools? I really don't have any idea where you are coming from with this post; you do make a good point about cheese burgers though.
