    :: Hi Ben,
    ::
    ::: I've been given the task of evaluating various database servers with
    ::: regards to security, and would like to solicit opinions. The
    ::: databases I am interested in are:
    :::
    ::: PostgressSQL 7.3
    ::: MS SQL Server 2K
    ::: Interbase 6 & 7
    ::: Sybase 12.5
    ::: Access 2K
    ::
    :: You'd be nuts not to include mySQL on that list.
    :: http://www.mysql.com
    ::
    :: We use it almost exclusively now with Lasso Pro 6 middleware.
    ::
    :: mySQL's security is extremely good, as it's open source so you have
    :: many many sets of eyes looking at, and generally speaking no
    :: licensing fees to pay to use it.
    ::
    :: It is also EXTREMELY quick - I'm talking Oracle fast here
    :: See http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,293,00.asp

    :: Are you guys in WA ? We're in Sydney.

    And why Interbase but not firebird? (the succesor of interbase)
