I suspect they very likely have compelling performance numbers, but I
haven't had time to actually run tests with our real databases on
it ... There are graphical MySQL front-ends (whereas FB's is fine, but
sort of "passable"), and honestly there are pkg installs of it also at
this point, so it's not a WHOLE lot more than double-click-to-install
at this point. Slightly more obnoxious with permissions and users,
etc, I suspect. I think FB wins pretty handily in the competition
from zero-to-running-database, but how often are you doing that part?
In terms of % of time spent, that's only a fraction of your db's
life. I just don't want to discount it because a decade ago it sucked.

I am sure that you can make it go, but other than clustering, why
bother? If you don't need that it seems like a lot of configuration
work, research, etc. for what FrontBase gives you with a single
click installer.

You know, I have thought this same thing of MySQL for years, but I
think it's because I'm evaluating it based on its feature set from
1998 and not giving it a fair shake. I've read a lot of stories
on, for instance, highavailability.com about huge sites that use
it. I'm not too keen on the restriction that clustering is in-
memory only, but it actually seems like a legitimate database these
days (ONLY with InnoDB). It's on my list of things to evaluate
more fairly :)

I am with Mike on this. If you just need free, FrontBase is hard
to beat. If you must have open source, PostgreSQL. MySQL has
some nice features, but... I dunno, it is still MySQLToy to me.

I prefer FrontBase ... It's trivial to setup, runs very well, and
it's free. MySQL and PostgreSQL are obvious other choices as well.

Using Leopard > Eclipse > WOLips - which is the database of
choice. I have heard postgres is the best of the opensource
ones. But which one works best with replacement tool for
EOModeler?
