I learnt a lot from this thread. You guys seem to be in that line.
The Indian IT depends a lot on DB. Airline ticketing, railway ticketing, banks and many real world applications depend on databases in a big way. But I have learnt only what I need to do my job. I use Postgres and sqlite. Now I am slowly moving to Postgres. I have no idea about noSQL or graph databases. Thanks for pointing me in that direction. -Girish On Fri, Jun 14, 2013 at 9:14 AM, Vijay Varadan <[email protected]> wrote: > anitha ekambaram <anithaekambaram86@...> writes: > >> >> Hai to all >> There are lots of Open source Dbs are available in the Market . which one i > need to choose .. > > Reading your question, it sounds like you're in the early learning phase when > it comes to databases.
