Jeez! I mean, even Tandem are going to ship ORDBMSs (Universal Servers). Oracle, Sybase, IBM and Informix have all announced products. Tandem, IBM and Informix will all run user defined routines in 'C'. Just crack open an operating systems textbook and look up Multics. They had 'plug ins' in the 60's. Check out what you do to write and deploy a Unix device driver. Ever heard of 'kernel mode'? Walk to the solaris box closest to you, and type in 'man -s 9 Intro'. Crack open an NT internals manual. I hope most of the rest of us are adult enough to deal with writing and testing a little 'C'. -- ===================================================================== Paul Brown ^..^ pbrown@postgres.Berkeley.EDU (oo) - Oink! #include <std_disclaimer.h> "Think global - act loco!" - Zippy the Pinhead =====================================================================
