Jim,

re: MySQL - I discovered after I dug around the code
why MySQL isn't being used. Its only in MySQL 5 with the
stored procedures that MySQL supports cursors (of which
the Planner code uses) though its since MySQL 3.23.44
that itz got the foreign keys but these are in the InnoDB
tables.

There may also be some sequences that may not be
the same but that could be coded around.

So its really when MySQL 5 is released and you would have
to use InnoDB tables, that Planner + MySQL could get
closer. As for ODBC ? - I'd have to let others comment on
how hard that would be to have Planner talk to a ODBC
connector.

Rgds,
Lincoln.
