Ben, I am sorry that it trashed your setup. Thinking back, I believe we
were running Panther when we tried it. Even though it worked, the cost was
a factor too since we had 100+ users, so we went with MySQL instead.

Even MySQL access via Rev has been broken in versions newer than 2.6.1
(including the latest 2.8.x release candidates), so we haven't moved
foreward. One thing I have determined is that where the Rev MySQL queries
once were NOT case-sensitive for table names, etc., they now ARE. And of
course this breaks existing stacks that were working fine in 2.6.1 (even if
they shouldn't have been).
