Try Borland Interbase OE - much higher performance than MS SQL Server, with the assurance of a big brand name and option of paying for support. Also SuSE do a database solution...

BTW, how much is that costing, and have they committed to it?

We are looking to deploy CCM's Facility timetable / scheduler next
September
which uses M$ SQL 7 as standard. Does any one out there use this
software
with a Linux DB, DB2 and Oracle are the most obvious. My manager is not
keen
on MYSQL, but if some one is using it for this successfully it might
change
his mind!

Any information would be useful.

Thanks in advance.
