Internet is putting lot of competition fire & heat under Microsoft SQL
Server

Your boss will tell you - "Now, that we have high speed internet
connection
why do you need commercial SQL servers?? Simply use your mouse button,
click and
download the open-source Postgresql, InterBase or MySQL !!!!"

There will be no Oracle or Microsoft Corporation in about 2-3 years time
(as Internet is
a very big threat to Oracle/Microsoft corporation). Microsoft corp will
be a dead
meat....because of lightening speed broad-band-internet.

If you are running MS Windows 2000/NT, then here is the chance for you
to try this superb SQL RDBMS open-source database.

Now, PostgreSQL is packaged in Cygwin32-setup.exe, simply download the
cygwin setup.exe and double click on setup.exe
to install and run PostgreSQL on MS Windows 2000/NT

Installing and running the pgsql on MS Windows is extremely easy now and

is quite rock solid on Windows 2000/NT desktop or server

PostgreSQL is a "LINUX" of database systems - very powerful and
reliable..

Everybody is asking "What is the equivalent of Linux in SQL databases
??"
The answer is "PostgreSQL" RDBMS server.

Please try and go to http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/download.html
to download cygwin (which has pgsql)

After installing the cygwin, read the user guides at
http://www.postgresql.org

Your boss will say - "Purchase commercial support for PostgresQL from
GreatBridge at http://greatbridge.com or from http://www.mysql.com .
Microsoft
products costs too much money!!! Why do need these MS SQL servers
anymore ????"

Open-source SQL RDBMS and their rankings are -
Ranked 1st Gold Medal : PostgreSQL http://www.postgresql.org
Ranked 2nd Silver Medal : Interbase SQLserver
http://www.borland.com/devsupport/interbase/opensource
Ranked 3rd Bronze Medal : MySQL http://www.mysql.com
Ranked 4th : Many others ....
