Tom,

  OK. Guess I need to download, build, and install a 3rd rdbms. That's
do-able. Lots of room on this partition.

  I assume that once the .db file (or whatever extension it uses) is in the
appropriate subdirectory I need only tell Base to connect to it and hope
that it works.

  Long ago I wrote a driver in C for a spatial analysis application; it was
quite different from developing an end-user application. I much prefer to
avoid the pain of writing another driver and in Python.

Stay tuned ... updates at 11,
