So if you think about it, a column oriented datablade would use a lot of the same basic concepts in terms of memory and page storage. Yeah there's more to it and the distributed query management would be different, but IDS would be the easiest database to implement these concepts. While you may see this as an abomination, others have been very successful in implementing this. -G _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft's powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/177141664/direct/01/ http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/177141664/direct/01/
