Hello. � I have been tasked with evaluating open source databases for a large upcoming project:� e-commerce, B2B, high availability. � The O/S is most likely to be Linux, although FreeBSD could possibly be used (lower probability). � So far, it seems that MySQL, MaxDB, PostgreSQL, and Interbase/Firebird are possible candidates. � Does anyone know why we should or should not use any of these?� Does anyone know of other possibilities? � I�d very much appreciate hearing your comments and recommendations. � I have only recently started these evaluations. BTW, my own background is from the Oracle DBA world. � MySQL is certainly popular and seems to have very good performance, but I am concerned that the lack of Triggers, Stored Procedures, User-Defined Functions, and Views (to a lesser degree ) will be a disadvantage. � MaxDB "appears" to be more feature-rich and possibly more industrial-strength.� How does its performance and stability compare to the others? � Many Thanks.
