Hey Chris: Nice document! My understanding of the 'db' enhancements of SGE 6 is: Spooling information is stored in berkeley db Accounting information is stored in SQL=20 So even if you use the 'open source' version of SGE6, the accounting information should still be stored in the SQL db but the modules to extract the information is provided by the product from Sun? In that case at least we could have some third-parties create some account reporting tools based on XML/SQL queries.
