Hello Neil!

Replying to a message of Neil Heller to Jasen Betts:

 JB>> Why dod you want to use SQL but not a server?

 NH> Are you saying that ALL data should be kept on a multi-tier system or 
 NH> that SQL isn't very effective on systems other than multi-tier?

It's not very scalable if it's not multi-tier.  The only SQL-based servers
I know of that aren't multi-tier are for PDAs and Java (the latter being
Cloudscape).

Given the plethora of databases, if I were writing something in C, C++,
Perl, or generally even Java, I'd be using multi-tier, even if it's all the
same computer (both client & server on the same machine).
