There are many free databases to choose from: Firebird, Ingres, Postgres, and MySQL to name (most of) them. Most of the "best" developers and the largest community are behind Postgres. MySQL came out of nowhere - and it seems destined to return there, after the can-do founders left the horribly middle-managed Sun Microsystems. You would think that this situation would expose what Murph has said for years about Sun mid-management - but Sun doesn't seem to learn from its (or anyone else's) mistakes.
It's really too bad that the state of FOSS databases is so fragmented. It's just like the bad old days of forked UNIX, where you needed to not just pick an OS - but to pick a "winner". The resulting infighting kept UNIX from ever reaching its potential (I blame the Sun bigots ...). - Posted by: Roger Ramjet Posted on: 03/10/09 (Edited: 03/10/2009 @ 11:51) You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
