Title: Database question

Hello Axel (oops.. Alex),   take a look on PrimeBase. www.primebase.de    regards   Daniel   Note: If you talk about Witango 5, so pls. use the right name :-)) ----- Original Message ----- From: Alex Kac To: Multiple recipients of list witango-talk Sent: Friday, August 02, 2002 3:03 PM Subject: Witango-Talk: Database question Here�s a more on-topic question for here.... We�re a Win2k shop looking to move to OS X Server 10.2 on XServe. Currently we�re running SQL Server 2k � but frankly, part of my goal is to get rid of all MS software for our servers. There are quite a few reasons for this, but I won�t elaborate. Now, my budget is already going to go down the tubes with the XServes...and possibly WiTango (price still matters, and I�ll say that a large part of my reluctance to embrace paying $$$ for WiTango 5 is the price and my viewpoint that yes, its just an SP2 derivative). But you don�t want to skimp on the database. So...I may just keep one of our servers for SQL Server � but what low cost or freeware databases do you suggest? MySQL is what many people seem to use, but from my reading � not experience mind you � its not a �real� database. Yet large sites like SlashDot and others run off it just fine. I�m not looking for a database war here, I�m not looking for support options � I�m just asking from what you currently run or have run in the past � what do you recommend? --   Alex Kac, CEO/Developer Innovation in Personal and Business Information Management http://www.pocketinformant.com/   zoomzoom
