>From http://linux.sybase.com : Adaptive Server Enterprise for Linux version 11.0.3.3 continues to be offered as a free, unsupported release for development as well as deployment. Sybase's SQL is very similar to MS-SQL, at least the pre-2000 releases of MS. Postgres may work well as a replacement too, as has mature support for transactions, but MySQL probably wouldn't fit here. -Tim On Wed, 2001-12-12 at 23:02, Dustin Puryear wrote: For all that sucks in MSSQL it is still a few generations ahead of MySQL. How about PostgreSQL instead? Hmm, actually, isn't there a free version of Sybase out there? For obvious reasons that will reduce a lot of compatibility problems if you want to use something other than MSSQL when MSSQL is required.
