Re: [MacPerl] SQL Database for Mac

[Jon Lucenius <jonl@magpage.com>]

I believe the final chapter of my search for a SQL database for the Mac
has been reached. What I have found, quite by accident is a true
cross-platform solution. It runs on Mac, Win95, WinNT, and Unix variants.
The name is "Cloudscape" -- it is a 100% Java - SQL compliant database
with some very nice java features. Just one of them is the portability.
I will be using Perl to access it, as any database, and will be able
to throw in some Java in the SQL part. It also comes as a server version
for those requiring high-powered back-end stuff. 

Thanks all for the help. It is a bit pricey, but not much more than FM.
I think the bigges benefit is that you can transport the database with
the app/servlet that accesses it, server to server. This means that
some non-platform specific perl code with go as well, so all is happy.

Thanks again and have a nice day,
Jon
