I need to decide on a multi-user database for a family of rev apps to run against. Developing in other technologies, I have experience with OpenBase, FrontBase, MS SQL Server, and MySQL and a little Oracle. I don¹t want to use SQL Server for a whole host of reasons. Oracle is too expensive for most situations. I am not aware of a rev driver for OpenBase. I have had problems with MySQL and large BLOBs. That leave FrontBase which I like and works very well with very large blobs, but is not currently shipping in a 64 bit version. Is anybody using FrontBase? I see that there is Valentina. I need to store and interact with masses of information, but there are no relationships setup in the database and there are no joins in the SQL statements. Constraints and relationships are handled by the apps. I store files in blobs. Any kind and size of file.
To the apps, the database is a generic place to put information. This allows the apps to be database agnostic. So they can use embedded SQLite and hosted multiuser databases, just the same. Any feedback would be appreciated. Oh yeah. Cross platform is a must.
