RE: ms access & Orion?

If you use mysql, I think you need to compile the Berkeley engine first to get transaction support.  Please query MySQL on this, if you need to use transactions.  Their support and documentation is first class (are you taking notes here Orion?  There is a quiz next week). -----Original Message----- From: faisal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 5:06 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Re: ms access & Orion?

Two other free RDMS's are:   1.  Interbase (http://www.interbase.com) - originally developed by Borland, now open source.  I am using this product in a commercial environment.  It is a bit unstable on Linux, but runs great on Win2000.  This DB has a JDBC client.  This is a cross platform DB.   2.  SAP DB (http://www.sap.com/solutions/technology/sapdb/) - open sourced by SAP.  I have not worked with this DB yet, but I will soon.  This DB also has a type 4 JDBC driver.  This is a cross-platform DB.   Both of these databases "appear" to be industrial strength :) -----Original Message----- From: Kemp Randy-W18971 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2001 10:32 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: RE: ms access & Orion? Is ms access considered an RDMS and does it have a JDBC driver?  If so, then it should be theoretically possible to have it work with Orion.   But why would you want to do this?  A better solution would be to work with something like Postgresql (www.postgresql.org) or Mysql (www.mysql.com), if you don't have a commercial database (like Oracle) available. -----Original Message----- From: faisal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2001 9:55 PM To: Orion-Interest Subject: ms access & Orion? does ms access  work with Orion ?
