Hi Sergio,

   The company I work for integrates Solid into one of the products we sell (and I do support for) to ISPs and other firms with big networks.  The sw runs on NT and HP-UX using Solid as a drop in replacement for Oracle, the latter being an upgrade "Option".  The (Java) program collects metrics on network traffic and corrolates/filters it and dumps it into the db for later reporting.  Pretty high volume stuff, but not very transaction oriented.
   Unfortunately, I haven't seen an example of it running under Linux.

Lost in Tokyo,
   Keith
