The only product that can beat it is Oracle, but that's not an option for everyone,
because of the cost. Since there are so many good, free database products, such as
Interbase, Postgresql, Mysql, SapDB, etc., you really can pick and choose. For the
record, all of these databases have been around in some form or another for
approximately fifteen years. Even mysql, which was formed as a company only five
years ago, had the database product around ten years before that.

Hi Peter
I have not read your original post, nor the replies. However, I just wanted
to recommend using Interbase. If you want to use Borland JBuilder, it seems
obvious to use Borland Interbase aswell - I am not completely up to speed
with JBuilder, but I would expect that their own database product would have
the best integration with their IDE.
We have chosen Interbase because it is an old, high quality, reliable
product from Borland. I have absolutely nothing against Postgre or MySQL,
but the fact that Borland has released Interbase as a free open source
product gives you free access to a database which has been through 15 years
of professional development. Now, if anyone can mention a product which
beats that I am all ears...
In hopes I have not mentioned something, someone else already posted

Subject: orion + jbuilder4 --> sapdb?
Thank you for everyone answering my MySQL question. So, it appears that the
situation is this, if I want to use Orion + JBuilder4:
* PostgreSQL works fine except it isn't able to show tables in JBuilder
* MySQL's EJB support doesn't work (and we need that!)
* If we want to use Hypersonic we have to stop Orion while updating the db
So, the question is, does SapDB work with our combination (has anyone used
it
with JBuilder and Orion)? I haven't really heard about it before, so how
does
it compare for example to MySQL and PostgreSQL?
Regards,
Peter
