Hi Mark, I've been using PostgresQL (www.postgres.org) for about a year, and I love it. It's very stable and fast. I haven't tried ODBC or JDBC, but it should be there somewhere. Check the (somewhat outdated) homepage. There are several good libraries for using it with C, C++ and Perl (for Perl, I recommend the DBI module). I sometimes get the feeling that mysql has a larger user base and more stuff to connect with it in different ways, but I haven't tried it. On the other hand, I also get the feeling that Postgres is a more mature system, with its server backend etc... Theese are all feelings, though, no facts ;-) Regards, Palle >Hello All, > Just trying to gain some wisdoom from you all. > >I need to set up a database, for some of our clients (i'm getting sick >of all the *.dat floating around, not to mention increasing traffic) I >Was wondering which free database you guys/gals would recomend :). > >Mark > >-- >Mark Segal >mark@club-web.com >System Administrator - Club-Web Inc. ________________________________________________________________________ Palle Girgensohn Partitur Informationsteknik AB girgen@partitur.se http://www.partitur.se/
