We are are doing a lot of good stuff using PostgreSQL (there is a port in /usr/ports/databases, web page @ http://www.postgresql.org/) Postgres seems to be the most competent and complete free database around, but it is probably not the fastest. If all you need to do is simple SQL stuff (no subselects for example) you might be better off with mysql (http://www.tcx.se/ and also in the ports collection). To build jdbc with postgres, enter (from the top of my head) src/interfaces/jdbc and make. You'll get a jar file to be somewhere appropriate. Good luck! /Palle To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
