|For my first FreeBSD database implementation I want to use either DB2 or 
|Interbase, of course the Linux versions as there is no FreeBSD version of a 
|commercial database I believe.
|
|Has anyone experience with them?
|
|Or can someone recommend a different solution?
|

I researched the same question over the summer and settled on 
MySQL.  It is up and running for the last couple of months
backing a few web sites, though not very heavily loaded, but
has not once hiccuped.  (mod_perl->DBI->mysql)

|Environment: two simultaneous users, running Win95. Client developed with 
|Delphi 3.0. Will be traditional 2-tier system.
|
|Server: Pentium 233Mhz, 128MB, SCSI-3, 4GB disk.
|
|It's not a demanding environment.
|
|Solutions should be cheap (i.e. 250$-$1000 for db with 2 user licence). And 
|most importantly, it should require absolutely no maintainance and be very 
|robust. I'm a busy guy, this db should just run.
