Hello. I just deployed my first WO App this weekend on my brand new version of Mac OS X Server. I assumed that the "full version" of OpenBase would ship with the WebObjects Deployment (since a developer version of OpenBase ships with the WebObjects developer tools), but this does not appear to be the case. Am I missing something? If not, what would be an inexpensive (or free!) WebObjects-compatible database to use while I'm getting started?

WebObjects will work with pretty much any JDBC accessible database. If you search the webobjects* lists you will see reference to the following:

Free:
--------
MySQL
PostgreSQL

Inexpensive but not free:
----------------------------------
OpenBase
FrontBase

Not even remotely close to free:
-------------------------------------------
Oracle

I have used all of these at one time or another. OpenBase, FrontBase, and MySQL will work without much effort on your part. PostgreSQL works best when using the driver from ProjectWONDER (search the webobjects-dev list for recent threads). I will leave the discussion of which is the *best* choice to those on the the list that care enough to argue about that kind of thing :-)
