Re: Witango-Talk: Database question

Yup

It supports everything you'd need.

Besides the fact that it also has sequences, I love the fact that its varchar2 implementation has no size limit. So you can have a varchar2(32000) and it works just fine. No need for CLOB

I'm very happy with PostgreSQL (www.postgresql.org)

I believe MySQL has better and more elaborate administration GUIs than
Postgres.

I only have experience with Postgres from the command prompt, where it
behaves a lot like a well thought out version of Oracle. Backups and
restores are very easy. Good SQL client. Support for everything.
Commercial support available.

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?
