Does a datbase exist for FreeBSD? Where can I get it and what is it? What kind of documentation can I get for it? What protocol is used to access the database? If IP does it use sockets or packets? Take a look at /usr/ports/db/ingres, my son, all will be revealed therein! :-) I'm not saying it's ideal for your needs (I don't know what your needs are), but some folks are using it.. There's also a POSTGRES port if you go in for that sort of thing, but I haven't had time to look at it, myself. Jordan
