Not compelling? Hey I know what you mean - years ago (1990?) I 
attempted to hook up hypercard with ODBC and a Butler server...all on 
macs. It was slow and horrible and was utterly unreliable. Certainly 
I would expect problems if you use ODBC; That was then.

But NOW I've found that rev SCREAMS as a MySQL client on a decent DSL 
or cable connection -- as good as any client out there - even my 
favorite 'CocoMySQL'.
Check out Sarah's MYSQL stack and try it with mySql. Chances are your 
ISP has it running, or available for your account.

awesome work Sarah... thanks

Of course a client server database of any kind can only be as fast as 
the server and connection.
