I use postgress(been using it since 1996, but not on the same box) and it should not be a problem on a P90 for a home intranet...I just don't see whay you'd want to store the *mp3(raw binary) into the database(Databases are not filesystems), a simpler use would be to store the URL for the files on the database and store the actual files somewhere in the system...

Hi All,
I have been googling and checking websites and maybe I am on crack here, but I can't seem to find out what the system requirements are for MySQL, PostGreSQL or Firebird. I haven't checked all the sites yet and will dig further, but I hope someone can give me a quick synopsis of the hardware required for theses guys.
I have an old 90 Mhz with about a 1GB hard drive and I am thinking of using that as a small home database server for what equates to a home intranet. Basically dumping the tables and stuff on there, but likely storing larger files (MP3's, pictures, etc.) that will be in the database on a seperate hard drive. Feel free to correct my errors in thinking here if you like.
So far Postgre seems to be leading the race as far as what I am looking for. It doesn't have full cross-platform support, but seems to be the most like Oracle (what I am trained in), which is what I am looking for.
I appreciate eeryones insight and help in making the bes decision.
Cameron
