Me, for one. SE 5.x suits me for most things. I have a project I've been offered where I might need to use Online so I can execute stored procs in a db on a remote machine (which, btw, if anyone knows any "gotchas" - please enlighten me). For this one, maybe OWS on Solaris X86. But still don't need the DSA or SMP capabilities. Really only want the remote SPL capabilities from an INSERT trigger on a local database. PS: I'm off to Jakarta for a couple weeks, so if anyone does have useful comments wrt executing stored procs on a remote machine (ie different database on a different host) please CC them to my email address. I somehow doubt I'll be able to get a decent c.d.i feed while I'm away. Peter Wiley
