RE: Project idea

I think it's time for it as well.   Oracle, DB2, Sybase are planning on
cashing in even bigger now.   The .com crazy is over and people are going to
start to develop and market information rich websites and services that
reach out to cell phones/PDA's etc.

There hasn't been much innovation going on in the Relational DB world.
It'd be nice to see an Open Source project catch up, innovate, and
outperform the Big Name DB vendors.
An Open Source java DB by a trusted Open Source Name (Apache) would allow
anyone to have a high end database solution without being a big money making
enterprise.

Obviously I think this is a good idea.   Why don't we create a list for
Open Source DB's to evaluate?  Also some criteria.
I've already mentioned.

1. Object or Object/Relational DB.
2. Support for SQL/OQL
3. Support for the SUN JDO spec.

There is a pretty good Java SQL Relational DB called Mckoi, but the darn
thing is GPL and I have sent about 6 emails trying to get them to change the
license to an ASL or equivalent, but I have had no luck. They won't even
change to LGPL.

hsql Database on sourceforge has a good license and works well for small
projects, but I don't know if I would trust it for anything important.
Hopefully it will pick up some momentum.

I know Jetspeed (a Jakarta project) uses Hypersonic SQL (now hsql Database),
or at least used it the last time I check which was a long time ago. I would
love to see a solid Java RDBMS under a business friendly license. Maybe
someday ;-)

If you are looking for good database engines you can check:

HypersonicSQL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hsql/
ozone: http://www.ozone-db.org

I'm not sure how the current project teams would feel about bringing
them under Apache. I don't even know what the process is to even try and
find out. So that's about all the help I can offer.

Why not. A relational/ohject database.   One that may be queried with
standard SQL and OQL.   It should probably work with the up and coming Sun
Microsystems JDO spec.

Does Jakarta has anything close to an embedded pure Java
relational data base ?

If not, a project like that will be a great
addition to the Jakarta family.

Did you consider that we were out of functional email reach?

+1 from me - I haven't used it, but it comes highly recommended from a
source I trust (besides you...)
