MiniSQL, MySQL and Postgres should all do the job. PHP talks to all three. MiniSQL is minimalist, which makes it ideal for small jobs... which most Web-based databases turn out to be. MySQL is a very mature package, though also a bit on the minimalist side. Postgres has a ways to go to be as mature and stable, but will probably outstrip the others in terms of fucntionality, eventually. All the above IMHO. MiniSQL and MySQL have restrictive quasi-commercial licensing schemes. Postgres is free. > where can I find ODBC driver for windows in postgress database server :) http://www.postgresql.org/ -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
