I understand, but I get a lot from Microsoft with MSDE for a very very very reasonable price <G>.
As a small niche-market developer, the MSDE product allows me to develop full applications for the individual users desktop that can be very easily ported up to SQL Server for those clients that need more AND I don't have to spend many $ by processor or named user in order to do this.
[Quoted] I was hoping that Oracle had something similar, but if its main market is [Quoted] the "enterprise", then I'm not surprised that it doesn't support the desktop [Quoted] apps like Access and MSDE does or the small developer.
Again, many thanks for the feedback...
