I was actually on the phone with a very lovely and helpful young lady from
MYSQL.
She was actually one of the nicest people I have ever talked to in regards
to tech help.
at this point I would have to take back what I said for the time being.
and thank you so much for this reply.
i top posted incase someone googled mysql hosting.
the young lady i talked to made me feel a little sorry for this post as well
as what you said.
I have a few more hours of work ahead of me. after that i will down load
the tool and if anyone is wondering
I will be happy to share how much i like it. I guess I got a little cranky
and right now I feel I should opolize to mysql
and when this is done I will go to google and have that post removed.
i would also like to add that so far i find the open source world so much
more friendly and helpful than M$.
funny thing is I am thinking that one day i wont be using any tool but make
my own forms for the database admin.
You did help me to feel better about this. I wouldnt have felt so
comfortable if a sales rep would have said the same thing.


thank you for setting me straight.

Frank
