Meh, the article was ok, but the product itself doesn't sound so hot. The major issue bing nearly impossible to configure correctly for a novice sql user, strange obscure error messages and the like. I don't know if this would be for me, but i'm sure someone out there would enjoy using it, the support and packages doesn't cover everyone though, espcially newer flavors.
