John;
I'll let you cc: the DBI group if you like, i've just included the
cgi-app folks.
It's kind of hard to make a recommendation since there's not a lot of
detail about your needs.
That said, _I_ like MySQL and it has quite a few options for storage
engines, replication and, as of 5.0, views. I've also used Postgres
at work, but my company's moved away from it because replication with
it isn't as straightforward. That's _our_ need. Josh Danzinger and
Dan Horne, in separate emails pointed out SQLite.
Really, the key question is, what sort of application are you
building? The immediate other question is, what resources are
available to you? Other questions stem from that :)
Cheers,
Nathan

Hi - I'm soon to be doing a Perl app on the Internet, that'll need
database. We want the db to be as "free" as possible, but still fully
multi-user (web-based). Would the best route be MySql on Linux? Random
access files? Something else? We want no licensing obligations (no
Oracle,
Sequal Server, etc.). We want to go with Perl because it's the best
programming language invented by humans.
