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. Jerry Apfelbaum Toronto
