Thanks for the responses, much appreciated. A reference was made to Oracle/DB2/WebSphere being resource intensive "Then, the big stuff started to become available. DB2, Oracle, Websphere. One copy can take multiple IFL engines .." My follow up question on this is: in terms of resource requirements, would you treat MySQL as being roughly equivalent to Oracle/DB2? And JBoss roughly equivalent to WebSphere? I understand with DB2 there is the option to use DB2 Connect, an option MySQL doesn't allow for. So I appreciate its hard to compare directly. MySQL is efficient in its use of resources. Max DB is a heavy duty server. Perhaps not as fast or efficient as Oracle in handling large databases. However there is one thing going for both MySQL and Postgresql. It does not cost more to scale them. By clustering and striping data, you can get better throughput than even commercial databases. No per CPU license. My experience with MySQL has been very good. I like Postgresql as it has all the features I need and no bloatware.
