It does appear that MySQL has come along way. We're actually looking
at migrating to MySQL from our current OpenBase install for
performance issues. Don't really hear much about OpenBase and WO
these days ... does anyone still use it in production environments?

I suspect they very likely have compelling performance numbers, but
I haven't had time to actually run tests with our real databases on
it ... There are graphical MySQL front-ends (whereas FB's is fine,
but sort of "passable"), and honestly there are pkg installs of it
also at this point, so it's not a WHOLE lot more than double-click-
to-install at this point. Slightly more obnoxious with permissions
and users, etc, I suspect. I think FB wins pretty handily in the
competition from zero-to-running-database, but how often are you
doing that part? In terms of % of time spent, that's only a
fraction of your db's life. I just don't want to discount it
because a decade ago it sucked.

I am sure that you can make it go, but other than clustering, why
bother? If you don't need that it seems like a lot of
configuration work, research, etc. for what FrontBase gives you
with a single click installer.

You know, I have thought this same thing of MySQL for years, but I
think it's because I'm evaluating it based on its feature set from
1998 and not giving it a fair shake. I've read a lot of stories
on, for instance, highavailability.com about huge sites that use
it. I'm not too keen on the restriction that clustering is in-
memory only, but it actually seems like a legitimate database
these days (ONLY with InnoDB). It's on my list of things to
evaluate more fairly :)

I am with Mike on this. If you just need free, FrontBase is hard
to beat. If you must have open source, PostgreSQL. MySQL has
some nice features, but... I dunno, it is still MySQLToy to me.

I prefer FrontBase ... It's trivial to setup, runs very well,
and it's free. MySQL and PostgreSQL are obvious other choices
as well.

Using Leopard > Eclipse > WOLips - which is the database of
choice. I have heard postgres is the best of the opensource
ones. But which one works best with replacement tool for
EOModeler?
