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?
