That depends ... what does the term of "business solution" mean in your

What does it mean - up to speed? With /Command, you could use /library
wrapper Jeff (IIRC) created for accessing mySQL database. System library
calls should be way faster than interpreted mySQL scheme .... just guessing
here of course ..
