------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-09-11 13:38 ------- Subject: Re: PostgreSQL Specific Bayes Storage Module I think Malte has a point -- we need to pick the best and stop there. However, supporting two open source SQL databases does not seem excessive. mysql and postgresql cover most usage. Yes, mysql is more popular for open source stuff and it's *currently* faster for us, but there are several points in favor of postgresql that I believe warrant our inclusion of it: 1. It is probably a safer way to store data. 2. It has a more compatible license: MySQL is GPL and MySQL AB takes the aggressive position that you need a separate license from them to use MySQL in any non-open-source product without placing your code under the GPL. http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/licensing/faq.html Similarly, I could see us supporting one more local database, but since DB_File seems safe and the license is certainly compatible, it would only be for performance or ease-of-use reasons. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
