I personally like mysql/postgresql and Berkeley db they offer a great price performance ratio with minimal admistration (Oracle in present case its due customer requirement/ legacy app)......well with ORM libraries like Hibernate, JDO we seldom need to store business logic as stored procedure/ or in DB .....and they are scalable to respectable level and definately less buggy the commercial counterparts (check out clustering, transaction, oracle migration tools and other stuff in upcoming mysql 5 http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid41_gci1070436,00.html, http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid39_gci1069172,00.html) >Are you still ready to "bean" me hard w/ your balls ..eh? > >***End of Discussion from my end on this topic*** > > > yes you are right lets ends it here ... it was about installing 9i on fedora nothing less or more :-) >BR, >N > >------------------------------- > > >On Wed, 30 Mar 2005 Sandip Bhattacharya wrote : > > >>On Wed, 2005-03-30 at 10:26 +0000, Nishant Kavi wrote: >> >> >> >>>Watch out for more bumps ahead w/ Fu&*#& Fedora 3 + Oracle.
