Shared caches are simply not possible with Classic. Saying that there are a few cases where you might not want to use one doesn't change this fact. And let's not pretend that they aren't better in general applications; that implication is beneath comment. Whereas with SuperServer the IB team could rather easily make the cache per-connection instead of per-DB if customers were screaming for it. I don't seem to see any QC requests for this, though. The security issues you don't seem to remember are explained (accurately, if a bit indirectly) on your own web site: http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&page=art_fb_security The important bit is this: "in some cases running under the unix uid/gid of the requesting client process." The issue is not with the DB server internally (I agree there's no special security concerns inside the server process) but rather with the inability to lock down file access security at the OS level and restrict access to the server machine. Which IB 7/2007 feature should Borland have dropped in order to spend time nursing Classic along? None of them, in my book. -- Craig Stuntz [TeamB] � Vertex Systems Corp. � Columbus, OH Delphi/InterBase Weblog : http://blogs.teamb.com/craigstuntz Want to help make Delphi and InterBase better?
