It's a double opportunity Mark. If you are locked into MySQL, then writing a
front end in Rev is the only real alternative if you want to deploy on the
exact same operating systems as REALbasic supports.

On the other hand, I don't think MySQL is entirely blameless here. Clearly,
they arent being good dance partners with REAL. Cooperation between the
makers of the IDE and the makers of the database back end is a win for
everyone.

Cant we have one hand ringing, evil laughing gloat out of you anyway Mark?
