Need database recommendation
Hi all,
We are going to develop an application on apache + tomcat + mod_jk on
Solaris 8, and we need a database for our application. There are lots of
databases exit, we need some recommendation of which is easier to
implement.
Thanks,
Cathy

Cathy,
Probably Oracle 8.1.6 (8.1.5 = 8i was a little buggy) -- There are others as well...e.g.
some of my best friends swear by Informix, Sybase et.al.
There is also Poet (haven't heard that much from them lately..) and some of the other
OODs.
I believe all Database Companies are tending towards OOD.
One reason for (me personally) choosing Oracle is that, and this may just be a rumor,
Oracle is developed on Sun OS (Solaris). (The claim is that Larry Ellison and Scott M
were each others "best man" at their respective weddings). This just may be "modern
folklore" however...:(
But if its true, Oracle developed on Sun OS, then, choosing Oracle would make sense.
On the other hand Oracle (and perhaps the other Database Companies) look to be committed
to Linux and (NT) so PL/SQL, Java -- should not be a "porting issue". Oracle "dmp" files
(if export full) can be pretty much easily imported to other Oracles on other
platforms... But again any other "industrial strength database" should be able to do that
as well.
I hope this helps,
regards,
mike anderson

Cathy,
This isn't particularly germain to this mailing list, but in the event
that some kind soul does answer, you might help yourself by giving some
idea of your requirements and budget. The quality of advice you get is
proportional to the quality of the question... unless you are on usenet
where noise always prevails. ;)

In fact, I also plan to change my database to PostgreSQL at the end of the project. I'm using Oracle because I'm not quite familiar with PostgreSQL and the database design of our project is in a hurry. So my question is if PostgreSQL is compatable with Oracle. How many changes do I need to do to use Oracle SQL statements such as creating table, stored procedure and trigger in PostgreSQL?
Sorry. It seems to be something off topic. :-) But I really wanna know the answer.

I'ld just like to advocate postgresql. It's more fully featured than MySQL,
just as cheap, does better in tests. And you won't need to employ Oracle
database administrators for an arm and a leg an hour, like you do with
Oracle.

If budget is not a problem, then I'd strongly recommend Oracle. It is one of
the more reliable and well-supported databases in terms of an RDBMS, and
also has excellent multimedia support (through Intermedia) so its my top
choice in terms of an OOD as well.
However, if your project needs to be cost-conscious, I'd suggest you to
consider MySQL. I've found it to be the fastest among non-Oracle
alternatives (sometimes even faster than Oracle) and a very, very reliable
database, especially in web environments. Usually, the objection labelled
against it has been lack of transaction support, but recent versions have
taken care of that!

Hope this helps,
