New Dev Database

One of the things that keeps me from really getting serious about writing some new code is the lack of a local database. I usually deploy to PostgreSQL or Oracle for production. Both of which I really have no interest in running on my development box. PGSQL requires cygwin, which is a pain all by itself and Oracle... oh gees. I was using HypersonicSQL, but it doesn't have sequences.

I noticed that SnipSnap used McKoi some time ago, but never really gave it much thought. I thought it was just another HSQL type database. Low and behold... McKoi has sequences. I now have a new development database. YEAH!
