Re: [uug] choosing database

[Carl Youngblood]

It depends on who is going to access the database. Depending on the usage model, I might even be inclined to use sqlite for a database of this size. It is faster than MySQL as long as it doesn't need to be accessed by very many users simultaneously, is fully ACID compliant, and offers some useful features that MySQL doesn't currently support (at least in its stable releases), such as subselects.

free solutions have come so far that they offer everything Oracle does, in
all practicality. Pgsql (Postgres) is only necessary when you need stuff
like transactions and stored functions and... other stuff that I've never
had much use for.
