I've taken a look at it (without setting it up) and looks good. The only drawback is BLOB support, but I think I could pass without it for some time (at least until next version :) >You may also want to Checkout the MySQL >homepage, http://www.tcx.se/ I think they had an ODBC driver for >Linux, and then there was an add in LJ for a Informix Client clone for Linux. MySQL is the engine I currently use for validating users and some Intranet stuff, but all the university's info is Informix, and I'll need that. Saw the add, but I'll prefer a custom (or semi-self-made) solution. Thanks a lot. I'll post info about DBD::Net in the near future.
