It's not that difficult to configure MySQL or PostgreSQL, particularly on Linux. And if you're using a database-independent API (available for most languages/databases), it's even easier. > But if you're trying to to a migration quickly(if their license > agreement with oracle were to end in < a month) then do you really > have the time?

If time is of the essence, you also should consider what database you're coming from and it's level of compatibility with MySQL/PostgreSQL. If it's Oracle, then PostgreSQL wins out as others have mentioned. -David _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
