Need opinions: JDBC capable database for Linux

1999-06-14 Thread Tod Liebeck

Any opinions on which database (Oracle, DB2, Postgre, Informix, Sybase,
etc) would be best for doing some JSP+database  expirementation on a Red
Hat 6 Intel Linux box?  I'm just looking for something to play with...
my biggest priority is that it not be an absolute nightmare to install
and get working with JSP.   Also, if anyone knows, which of these
databases support JDBC on Linux.

Thanks

I have had personal experience with using Oracle, and MySQL databases under
Linux.  I've got colleagues that use Postgres under it as well).  None of
these databases are particularly hard to get set up.  As long as you get your
class paths set up to include the JDBC drivers, it's pretty easy to use them
from servlets and JSP pages too.

The new JSWDK-1.0-EA release also works under Linux -- I've been using it
(talking with an Oracle database using the Oracle thin driver) with
Blackdown's pre-v2 Java2 JDK.

I have been playing with mySQL from TcX (www.tcx.se) that has a fine
JDBC driver (twz1jdbcForMysql). It runs in Linux.
My platform is linux-apache-jrun(and Servlet engine)-GNUjsp
  -JavaBeans-JDBC(twz1jdbcForMysql)-mySQL and it works fine!!!

See the driver in
  http://www.voicenet.com/~zellert/tjFM/twz1jdbcForMysql-doc.html

count another vote for mysql.

we've had more success with the mm jdbc driver
http://www.worldserver.com/mm.mysql/ because it handles MetaData better
(eg, at all) than the twz driver.

no, oracle has release oracle 8.0.5, not 8i (aka 8.1.5), for linux.

we've had trouble with occasional but deadly protocol violations talking
to linux oracle 8.0.5 from linux/jdbc. no help from oracle on this
subject.

fyi the jdbc drivers for 8.0.5 and 8.1.5 are neither forward nor
backward compatible.

personal opinions of oracle software available upon request.

Re: Need opinions: JDBC capable database for Linux

1999-06-14 Thread Philip S. Constantinou

I've had luck using Postgres and Oracle. Postgres is fairly easy to get
running and only requires a minimal amount of work to migrate to Oracle if
you need to. The current version of Oracle 8 for Linux doesn't work on Red
Hat 6 out of the box. We had to back out to 5.2 to get it to work. (some bad
linking problems).

Postgres drivers are fairly easy to get working so if you're doing a small
project that's probably the way to go. Both Oracle and Postgres have type 4
drivers. I strongly recommend the Type 4 drivers for Oracle (use
classes111.zip).

Performance wise, you're definitely going to get better performance with
Oracle especially under heavy load (and with many database connections).

Any database with JDBC type 4 drivers will work. If the databases support
ODBC then you can also use some sort of ODBC:JDBC bridge, but I wouldn't
recommend it.

Hi,

Personally I would recommend  DB2, we have been using it with JSP on few
platforms (NT and UNIX).
It installs fairly easly compared to for example Oracle (which we also
use).

Also you can download beta code for Linux from IBM.

Best regards,
Nicolai
