But from what I experienced and heard MDB2 seems really superior in a number of ways - although DB has a few more drivers, as Lukas pointed out. And since both packages follow the same approaches, it would imho be a good idea if the MDB2-people (actually Lukas) and the DB-people could pool their resources and bring up a new MDB2-class with some additions from the current DB. To me DB_v2 would be more obvious as *the* DB-package to use for the reasons already several times in this thread. The current situation is a waste of dev-resources in my eyes ... somehow both teams should find a way to cooperate. Good luck! Stefan
