PostgreSQL also has a long way till matching with MySQL's popularity. > My choice and recommendation: PostgreSQL. Agreed. By the way: What is the list's recommendation for a database for a dictionary? (i.e. zillion records; English words are the keys; 99% of the activity is search and read and almost no update activity; When matching texts against the DB, the length is not known, and the longest key (that is matching) is taken; The time to find a match is critical). (currently I use a special variation of Patricia Trie that I modified and improved for my own needs). And a similar question: If I have a collection of hundreds (simple) regular expressions, and want to find all the matches of them in a long free text, is there any Open Source library for this purpose? (like flex, but without generating C code + compilation to machine code; Just a function library). (Currently I plan to build a state-machine for this purpose, but still looking for an existing library, as efficient as possible).
