Re: Still Alive?

["Bayless Kirtley" <bkirt@xxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

Sorry to say that I gave up on McKoi many months ago after
it corrupted the database a couple of times and there seemed
to be no help or response on the mailing list. I tried Derby or
JavaDB but finally ended up with hsqldb because of support
for boolean data types. I have been completely satisfied with
it and can recommend it for embedded as well as server use.

Bayless
