But they can.  I have the full developer pack and a runrev server
account.  At the *very* least, my stack should be able to query my
account on their own server runing livecode server.  Failing that,
there should be at least a sample script.

If they're selling a server language package, this should be part of
what comes with it!

We can, though, expect a developer package and webserver package to
include the basic tools that every database using application will
need.

Thank you, but I really need to be doing my own coding, and
understanding every line of it.  Only after that can I subcontract
anything in a commercial product (besides, I want postrgresql, not
mysql.  Now that Oracle owns mysql, it is unlikely to advace and get
basic hings like, say, real booleans . . .)
