As always, it depends. Are you already familiar with one or the other? Do you have the financial resources to pay for BSDi? Are you in an enterprise environment where paid technical support is expected to be available? Are you running a large enough database application that you will need a multiprocessor system? (FreeBSD's SMP code is not nearly as good as BSDi's, though soon that will be less true. The same goes for kernel threads. (Someone please tell me if I am wrong on the second point.)) If money is an issue, go with FreeBSD and get a really fast CPU and most importantly a lot of RAM, so that you never swap and you can fit the entire database indexes in memory. Just my opinions. For best results, try out your application under both OSes.

However, you should probably direct this to the MySQL developers. I have a 2GB MySQL database under FreeBSD 3.x. It works ok. MySQL's table-locking stinks, but that isn't an OS issue. If I was going to start again, I wouldn't use MySQL because of the table-locking issues.

There are a few options and none of them is very appealing: - Use the Linux OCI driver and compile all your applications are Linux binaries and run them on FreeBSD under emulation. - Use the request broker from Openlink Software (http://www.opelinksw.com). It should be free for up to two connections. Basically, your FreeBSD application must be able to support ODBC. Openlink providers a ODBC driver for FreeBSD and a request broker that can be run on your database server (or anywhere else that a native Oracle interface is available). The Openlink ODBC driver will connect to the request broker, and the broker to Oracle. This will not work if your app does not use an ODBC interface and requires the propietary Oracle OCI API. - Re-write your app in Java. Type 4 JDBC drivers are truly OS independant and work on any system with a JVM. > Thanks, > Calvin Tom To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-database Sat Nov 18 11:31:54 2000 Delivered-To: freebsd-database@freebsd.org Received: from spammie.svbug.com (mg128-012.ricochet.net [204.179.128.12]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 95A0A37B4C5 for ; Sat, 18 Nov 2000 11:31:49 -0800 (PST) Received: from spammie.svbug.com (localhost.mozie.org [127.0.0.1]) by spammie.svbug.com (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id LAA02204; Sat, 18 Nov 2000 11:30:52 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from jessem@spammie.svbug.com) Message-Id: <200011181930.LAA02204@spammie.svbug.com> Date: Sat, 18 Nov 2000 11:30:49 -0800 (PST) From: opentrax@email.com Reply-To: opentrax@email.com Subject: Re: What?
