Re: [Asterisk-Users] which DB to use? or Why Berkley DB vs. MySQL, etc

And then you mention:

* BerkleyDB
* MySQL
* PostgreSQL

I'd add, after Berkley DB, but before the "real" SQL databases

* SQLite

SQLite allows databases with no setup, without any server processes 
running, with a good selection of SQL. You don't need to mess with users 
and access right, as with BerkleyDB, you simply use the access rights and 
users of the underlying OS/File system. And yet it's transactional and 
ACID as the more bigger solutions, which also need more setup and 
handholding.

Also, SQLite is twice as fast as MySQL :-)

IMHO, there's only two (maybe 3) worthwhile options there. One is
BerkleyDB. It's simple, it works, no extra work on your part. If
you're going to be in a very active environment with LOTS of DB access
going on, you go with options 2&3. MySQL or PostgreSQL. With regards
to Asterisk, I'd say they're both about equal. It comes down to
personal preference for the most part. If you prefer (or are already
running) MySQL, use that. If you prefer (or are already running)
PostgreSQL, use that. Other than that, I don't think there are really
all that many other options.

If you don't need the relational aspects I'd probably use DB1/Berkely -- it's 
small, robust and works. 

odbc shoudl work for anything else -- I very much doubt you'll ever run into 
performance issues with * and odbc, and by not locking yourself into a 
specific DB you can always upgrade/try others.  

My fanatical side would choose postgres.  :-)

[Asterisk-Users] which DB to use? or Why Berkley DB vs. MySQL, etc

2004-07-25 Thread Frank
What are the criteria you use to select which DB to use with *
Built in DB1/Berkley DB
MySQL add in
Postgres 
Unix odbc
Brian's dbodbc

Beyond just having a relational DB or not.

Performance?
DB size?
Ease of Access?
Portability?
Gui/browser access
...

Any comments on how to bring this all into focus?
