I trust that's clear enough. SE is one of the all-time *great* database products for small databases & sites who don't want/can't afford a DBA to nursemaid a pain in the arse DBMS. It works just fine for databases in the <10Gb range that don't need BLOBs and don't need to be up 24 hours/day. If you're serious, I suggest you're seriously out of touch with where an awful lot of peoples' systems are. A cheap SE port to Linux - now that'd be something to play with. Excellent hook to get people learning. Oracle & Progress have nothing like SE in terms of simplicity combined with the functionality. Hell, Progress still doesn't have Stored Procs or dictionary RI.
