It depends on everything from the size of the database(s) you plan to need
on the backend of your web-site to the size of your budget, and what OS you
will be using for your database server. There is no one right answer for
this. Consider how critical your data is, what you can afford whether or not
replication will be necessary (for reporting or to create a standby
server).....you need to make a good determination of your needs before
anyone can really give an intelligent recommendation of a DBMS.

Subject: Can you recomend a DBMS?
Hi All,
Im in the very early stages of developing an intranet website where I
have scope to
choose which DBMS software I want to install and use.
Since this is a new area of web development for me I have little/no
experience of which DBMS' are good and bad. Of course I could just try
a few, but as always time scales dont allow me to mess around finding
which are suitable / unsuitable from scratch.
Any of you guys willing to recommend some software or even suggest some
that arent up to much?
Maybe there are some independant websites around that review DBMS'? I
havnt found any.
It will be installed onto a UNIX system (Solaris). The intranet is
currently served by Apache.
Your advice / help will be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Barry.
