RDBMS preferences
If I were to install an RDBMS on Brutus, that can be spoken to by Python,
any preferences? MySQL? Firebird? Others? I'm feeling an itch to
experiement with this, and I fancy going w/ Firebird 'cos somebody I
respect said they prefered it. Any preferences?
regards
Adam

It seems concensus is MySQL, which is good 'cos I've not found portable DB API V2 drivers for others.

let's keep it simple for everybody: mysql is by far the most used DB by
open source people, so it's probably going to make life easier to find
volunteers to help if needed.

Hi Adam,
I do not know whether Python has "Python Data Objects" ?
(actually, a quick search in Google says there is something like that).
I would go for Python Data Objects + an ODBMS or RDBMS
but in any case try to avoid mapping object to relational in the code.
Also congratulations for all you are doing to improve gump !
Cheers,
Antoine

I have used MySQL with Python without problems. Most projects use MySQL
as a reference (maybe because it's more feature limited and thus
baseline? ;-) and OS hosting sites usually have it.
I'd use MySQL.

I have only ever used MySQL, and I have actually used it with Python,
so I know it works. That being said, I have no preference. I have
used Interbase (Firebird before open source) in a past life, and I
didn't have problems with it either. Didn't use it with Python though.
