Hi Dan, That is if you get it from Enterprise DB. If you get it from them, it may not be free any more. They charge something for the Advanced Server Plus version of it, but you will look high and low on their website to find out how much. "Free 60 day trial" for the Oracle version, and then no suggestion of a fee for the MySQL flavor but the charge for the Oracle one arouses suspicion. "Free" Software vendors more and more like to hook you first, then hit you with a recurring bill that they weren't up front about. http://www.enterprisedb.com/ Is there a charge or not? The whole point of switching is to get away from MySQL nicking each user of the app 2k. The potential users are primarily Social Security retirees and 2k is a dealbreaker for them by a factor of 200 or more. "In August 2007, EnterpriseDB announced[35] the Postgres Resource Center [1] and EnterpriseDB Postgres, designed as a fully configured distribution of PostgreSQL including many contrib modules and add-on components. EnterpriseDB Postgres was renamed to Postgres Plus in March 2008. Postgres Plus is available in two versions: Postgres Plus Standard Server which has all the features of PostgreSQL plus additional QA testing, integrated components, tuning and one-click install, and Postgres Plus Advanced Server which has all the features of Postgres Standard Server plus Oracle compatibility, scalability features, and DBA and developer tools. Both versions are available for free and are fully supported, though the free version of Postgres Plus Advanced Server is restricted by a "limited use" license, which is defined as "confined to a single CPU, utilizing 1 GB RAM, storing no more than 6GB of data in a NON-PRODUCTION environment."" It is used to play organ music in the app. Is that NON-PRODUCTION? And the app uses more than 1 GB of ram and the samples may exceed 6GB so . . . I don't think there is any ORACLE stuff in the app but . . . -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
