Thanks for the clarification, my point was that unless you're the Licensing Coordinator for MySQL AB, a developer or organization might choose another option in the interest of moving quickly with a guaranteed unencumbered solution without having to wait for clarification from MySQL AB or involve lawyers.

NNOT Red Herrings (Re: [OT] free Database with Transaction (Sorry for the noise))
This thread brought to mind something in Perl's Artistic License. It also reminded me that the arguments against the GPL are all red herrings. Anyway -- > Seems pretty straightforward to me: > > "If your application is not licensed under GPL or compatible OSI license > approved by MySQL AB and you intend to distribute MySQL software (be that > internally or externally), you must first obtain a commercial license to the > MySQL software in question." http://www.mysql.com/products/licensing.html Yeah, that does sound confusing. However, applying internal/external to the verb distribute would almost seem to be an attempt to extend the GPL. The GPL does not talk about internal distributions, nor does it distinguish between commercial and non-commercial uses. While MySQL does emphasize the benefit to the customer in buying licenses and support, they aren't trying to weasel around the GPL. Deployment is specifically described by the FSF as being a seperate issue from distribution, and is not restricted under the GPL unless a particular deployment requires distribution. (Do you have to install GPLed software X on all the workstations for your app to run? That sort of deployment would be a distribution, even if it were internal only. However, if the deployment does not involve modifying or incorporating said GPLed software X, the GPL would place no restrictions on it. And if deployment only requires said GPLed software X to run on the server, and all access is via some other means, then there has been no distribution in the deployment.) IIRC, the Artistic License talks about linking as a determinant of whether one program incorporates another or not. I seem to recall the FSF trying to talk about linking in some of their previous licenses or FAQs, but the present license and FAQ do not seem to do so explicitly. http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#MereAggregation MySQL AB seems to be waving their corporate hands at the issue in item 3B on the page you referenced. (If you talk to un-altered MySQL only through a third-party, non-GPLed, driver, your software should be clear of GPL requirements.) And then we get into the fuzziness of interpreters. Perl, being under the Artistic License, can link to the driver without License conflicts, even when distributed. Source code is considered through the Artistic License to be input to Perl, rather than some sort of means of incorporating Perl's library. So, if your program is entirely in Perl and only talks to MySQL through any driver, that also clears you of the GPL requirements. The Apache license does not appear, at first glance, to provide the same sort of buffer, if that's relevant. I think it isn't. Avoiding the payment of money is not the point. Even if you're using the stripped-down "free-means-free-or-else!" license that openBSD advocates, you really should know what you're using where and under what terms. If you don't, you don't really know where to turn when things fail. Free software should not be used as an excuse to abdicate responsibility. It's exactly the opposite, and if you understand that, you understand the GPL. -- Joel Rees <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [OT] free Database with Transaction (Sorry for the noise)
Hypersonic ? I've had some problems running it in standalone server mode. Can't seem to be able to connect. But two non-commercial (i.e. free) databases I like are : 1. McKoi (http://www.mckoi.com/database/) 2. InstantDB - no, it's not dead, just frozen. (http://www.simpledb.org/) IBM's DB2 is excellent for database newbies and "casual" database users and administrators.I particularly like the "one-click install" and the stable GUI admin tool. The installation process is a LOT more painless than Oracle, and the database tunes itself more effectively. I didn't like the number of pre-install tasks when installing Oracle 8i, and I thought the installer was not as seamless as it should be.

RE: [OT] free Database with Transaction (Sorry for the noise)
Seems pretty straightforward to me: "If your application is not licensed under GPL or compatible OSI license approved by MySQL AB and you intend to distribute MySQL software (be that internally or externally), you must first obtain a commercial license to the MySQL software in question." Many companies have problems with doing work under the GPL, internally or externally. I'm not saying they're right, and I'm not saying I agree with them, merely pointing out that MySQL AB's restrictions might prove prohibitive if the intent is to use MySQL without a commercial license. I guess the lawyers could argue for a couple of years on the exact definition of "distribute internally" (does that mean use once? use more than once? use more than once but download a complete copy of the software and do a full installation each time instead of creating an application installer package? etc.) but sometimes it's much quicker and less cumbersome to simply choose another solution.

Admitably I haven't looked lately to be sure of that statement, and oracle isn't quite standard, but it's alot closer that what I saw in postgresql. For a home project I'd consider postgresql, but for work it's going to be oracle. Besides most of our customers explicitly require oracle, or MS SQL, so it's not like I have a big choice. The next most likey contentors usually end up being informix or db2. And for really small stuff I can get away with something like hypersonic, but only if they don't know (it's not that I'm trying to hide things, it's just that they don't care). Oracle also has some really nice xml/xsl tools, which I haven't see for the other databases. Their XSQL servlet is really really nice for implementing pre-filled in forms and other types of pages when your sql is static. And their implmentation of the XSL transform is about 2-2.5 times faster than xalan. All in all I'm a fairly happy oracle customer (although indirectly as I don't purchase oracle, the customer does). --mikej -=- mike jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -Original Message- > From: Mike Jackson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 12:13 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: [OT] free Database with Transaction (Sorry for the noise) > > > I have an oracle administrator.

Hypersonic does have a jdbc driver, it's a type 4. I think it's jdbc 2, but I'm not sure. Oracle supports jdbc version 2 at least, 3 I think, not sure. They're kind of funny, they don't always support all parts of the version that they're nearest too. They have a type 4 as well as the type that uses native libraries. They additionally have different types of type 4's, which you use depends on the application. DB2 also has a JDBC driver, but other than that I don't know. Also, cloudscape used to be part of the j2ee development kit, that version was free as I recall. --mikej -=- mike jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -Original Message- > From: Jens Skripczynski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 1:37 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: [OT] free Database with Transaction (Sorry for the noise) > > > Hi, > > I would like to stop this thread, i started. > > I would like to thank everybody for contributions. > > Many things i forgot to write. > - I'm not the administrator of the final tomcat box, so needing any other > database than mysql, needs a lot of talk with the admin. > - yes, i did check the mysql website, but rely on (maybe > outdated) information > of computer magazines, that labeled the transaction support > very limited. > > > So for me Hypersonic is fine, since (i hope) i can copy the files in a war > to my isp and i do not have to keep two databases up2date. > > As a summary (for the archive) (and as a homework for me) > > databases with jdk / jdbc support (highest version listed) > - > > free: > - Hypersonic now hsqldb (http://hsqldb.sourceforge.net/index.html) > - pure java > - supports jdk 1.4 > - supports jdbc ?.? > - JDBC Type ?

Re: [OT] free Database with Transaction (Sorry for the noise)
Hi, I would like to stop this thread, i started. I would like to thank everybody for contributions. Many things i forgot to write. - I'm not the administrator of the final tomcat box, so needing any other database than mysql, needs a lot of talk with the admin. - yes, i did check the mysql website, but rely on (maybe outdated) information of computer magazines, that labeled the transaction support very limited. So for me Hypersonic is fine, since (i hope) i can copy the files in a war to my isp and i do not have to keep two databases up2date.

RE: [OT] free Database with Transaction (Sorry for the noise)
"closer"? Ummm, maybe, but still hideously broken. If you're using BLOBs from Java, forget both Oracle and PostgreSQL - their JDBC drivers are horrible. And if you want to lie awake at nights shivering, desperately trying to clear your mind of a gastly, horrible vision - take a look at the timestamp handling code in the PostgreSQL JDBC driver... PostgreSQL may be a lively project, but the JDBC driver is not :-( I'm surprised that Firebird doesn't get more press. It's a full-featured database with a *good* JDBC driver. In fact, it's one of the few databases (commercial or otherwise) that provide a JCA driver so it seamlessly plugs into JBoss. BLOB support is great. Runs with production-level stability on just about any platform. *Fantastic* GUI tools (the IBOConsole is almost as nice as Microsoft's tools). I've spent a lot of time developing with PostgreSQL, MySQL, Firebird, and all of the big commercial RDBMS'. Firebird is in my opinion not only the most pleasant free offering to work with, but also better than most of the commercial offerings (don't get me started on Oracle).

Re: [OT] free Database with Transaction (Sorry for the noise)
According to MySQL's licensing page, you only need to worry about the software license at all if you are distributing MySQL code. If you are only using it (for instance, to serve data to your web application), you do not have to license MySQL, even if your web application's code is not distributed under the GPL. http://www.mysql.com/products/licensing.html -Jake - Original Message - From: "Jeff Tulley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 3:16 PM Subject: RE: [OT] free Database with Transaction (Sorry for the noise) > Sorry to add to the noise, but I feel the need to add: On the next > version of NetWare (6.5), there will be a commercially-licensed copy of > MySQL that an application can use without the restrictions John listed. > In case that helps anybody decide for or against using it. > > Jeff Tulley ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > (801)861-5322 > Novell, Inc., the leading provider of Net business solutions > http://www.novell.com > > >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2/18/03 12:57:34 PM >>> > > Without going into a whole argument...technically MySQL is not free > for > commercial use.

RE: [OT] free Database with Transaction (Sorry for the noise)
I wholeheartedly recommend postgresql. It gives you a lot of room to grow, if you need more performance, etc. If you are at the point of considering transactions, then I personally think you're better off with postgresql. Mysql has only recently added transaction support compared to Postgresql. And if you make oodles (sp?) of money, then you can afford whatever Oracle software/support staff you want. If you are using Linux, I explain most of the setup at: http://daydream.stanford.edu/tomcat/install_web_services.html Between apache/tomcat/mod_jk/postgresql/, the easiest one to setup was postgresql.

RE: [OT] free Database with Transaction (Sorry for the noise)
Also the clob and blob support is closer to the "standard" jdbc implementation than under postgresql. Admitably I haven't looked lately to be sure of that statement, and oracle isn't quite standard, but it's alot closer that what I saw in postgresql. For a home project I'd consider postgresql, but for work it's going to be oracle. Besides most of our customers explicitly require oracle, or MS SQL, so it's not like I have a big choice. The next most likey contentors usually end up being informix or db2. And for really small stuff I can get away with something like hypersonic, but only if they don't know (it's not that I'm trying to hide things, it's just that they don't care). Oracle also has some really nice xml/xsl tools, which I haven't see for the other databases. Their XSQL servlet is really really nice for implementing pre-filled in forms and other types of pages when your sql is static. And their implmentation of the XSL transform is about 2-2.5 times faster than xalan. All in all I'm a fairly happy oracle customer (although indirectly as I don't purchase oracle, the customer does). --mikej -=- mike jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -Original Message- > From: Mike Jackson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 12:13 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: RE: [OT] free Database with Transaction (Sorry for the noise) > > > I have an oracle administrator.

Sorry to add to the noise, but I feel the need to add: On the next version of NetWare (6.5), there will be a commercially-licensed copy of MySQL that an application can use without the restrictions John listed.

Without going into a whole argument...technically MySQL is not free for commercial use.

Oracle is expensive to buy, expensive to hire a DBA... and well, in windows the installation is okay, but in linux is a real nightmare... I took almost a week the first time (I wasn't a very experienced linux user too) I'm using postgresql with Java and I'm very satisfied, much more "serious" than MySQL, just as free and have a good comunity.

Hi, thx for all the replies. I will give Hypersonic a try. (Because native java sounds good, and i do not have the money nor the time to learn oracle (a friend of mine told me an adventure about installing oracle on a windows system 'use that installer, swap cd's, because the default cd won't do the job, ' took him a month)). If Hypersonic does not work, i will try postgres. Thx for all the replies.

RE: [OT] free Database with Transaction (Sorry for the noise)
Since I don't use Postgresql in production, I don't know how well it works (or doesn't) on Win/2K. However, for development work Postgresql on Win/2K works fine. I'm currently running Postgresql on my Win/2K Pro machine. I suspect that since Postgresql has to go through Cygwin to access a filesystem, performance on a Windows platform may not be as good as Mysql (without transactions) or a database engine with native file access. I have not done benchmarks, so the above performance comments express only my opinion. Interestingly enough, Postgresql's second biggest installation base (at 21.4%) is on the Windows/Cygwin combination. /mde/ just my two cents . . . . __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Oracle requires an Oracle administrator ($$$) to install. I don't think a database can be much easier to install than PostgreSQL, especially if you're on windows. Just install Cygwin and it has postgresql installed automatically (if you select the database option). - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I love postgresql. It's free, very robust, and very fast. It has GUI admin programs available for it too which is nice. And it's an industrial strength database. Hypersonic or cloudscape are good for small projects, PostgreSQL is great for any project.
