--0-985668596-1201553851=:93369 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I am interested in the Mckoi database because I think it has been the best one I've seen among all the pure Java databases I've evaluated. I have tried pointbase, h2, hsqldb and cloudscape/derby, in the context of a fairly large CRM app I have been involved with. Each had its own set of issues. Pointbase wasn't as fast, nor was cloudscape or h2 (at the time I tested them -- a few years ago). hsqldb was actually quite a bit faster, but I seem to recall that it wasn't supporting transactions properly. I even tried sqlite, but there were some issues with blob support in its JDBC driver. By contrast, I've had Mckoi deployed in production for quite a while now, and never had a hiccup -- no data corruptions, no management headaches, nothing. It just works. So it be a real pity to see this project die. Regards. M. A.
