MSSQL works very well too (and Express edition is free for databases up to 4Gb). While it's not officially supported by core devs to the same extent as MySQL, those of us who use it are avid patchers and keep the MSSQL side up-to-date. As far as OpenSim is concerned, you can use it for standalone, but SQLite is extremely simple out of the box for a basic standalone. It's a solid alternative to MySQL.

It is funny to see MySQL being described as the more robust solution, when some (very uninformed) people still call it a 'toy database' - which was sort of true in 1999, but not 2009. In 2009, MySQL is an extremely robust, high-performance, high-reliability database that scales quite nicely. I'd highly recommend it over SQLite for any kind of reliability, but as mentioned before, for single-user sandboxes, SQLite may be easier out of the box. _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users Checked by AVG - www.avg.com Version: 8.5.375 / Virus Database: 270.12.94/2208 - Release Date: 07/05/09 17:54:00 _______________________________________________ Opensim-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-users
