Damien. As to Poet. I took a look at their latest product in its Java incarnation (everyone wants Java, so who am I to complain). Several things impressed me. 1) Performance was quite good. I ran some of my Java benchmarks and it basically equaled the Java implementation of ObjectStore. Shouldn't happen, in that Poet is suppose to be a lighet-weight product. 2) Transaction model. Very flexible, an improvement over some of the well-known bottlenecks of ObjectStore. 3) Object-level versioning and a process for schema mutation. (Wasn't exactly clear how this worked, but it looked impressive). 4) XML interface. Lots of chatter nowadays about XML-based APIs and interfaces. I was impressed that Poet already had provided some support here - very quick. Meanwhile, ODI is still just talking about it. 5) Ran a pathological Java program which causes an internal exception in ObjectStore. Poet swallowed it with no complaints. Still like ObjectStore, but the world is moving. Sea Otter
