It is not just MySQL or PostgreSQL offering freely available databases, as Oracle, Microsoft, and IBM all want to hook developers on lite versions of their products.
PostgreSQL has its place with Red Hat and Cisco; both databases have many more users than those listed.
With those high-quality databases available for free, developers can pick and choose which one will best fulfill the requirements of their web applications. Both products offer ACID-compliance and transaction support among their features.
Despite the availability of PostgreSQL and MySQL, the powerhouses of corporate databases believe they can hook developers with versions of their mainstream database products by providing lite versions of them for free, too.
Various limitations, like caps on how much data can be supported or only using one processor on a multi-processor system, keep the lite versions from matching their full price counterparts. Companies hope to demonstrate that their feature sets will prove the deciding factor in choosing a proprietary system over an open source one.
Oracle began offering its out-of-beta version of noted how developers familiar with MySQL can take that knowledge to SQL Server Express available for its users. That product also integrates with the free Del.icio.us") | Yahoo! My Web |
