For something like what you are doing, providing (and this is a BIG providing) you won't want to distribute it under a commercial licence without paying a fee (it has gpl and commercial), something like db4o might be better. It is very lite and after you get used to it should save you lots of development time. It is an object database, and basically you just do things like objectDatastore.set(myObject); myOjbect = objectDatastore.get(ItsType); And instead of having to have a separate object and sql models and translation, you just have objects. It works in a client server environment, and for small projects is quite nice. Cheers Anton
