Can anyone recommend a Database supporting basic SQL for use on Linux ?

Presently I'm using MS Access on Windows NT in one of my applications, but

I want

to move everything over to Linux but the database is my last hurdle.

Thanx for any help

I used mySQL awhile ago, just learning abit about DBI/SQL and it was nice. You do have to buy it, if you use it for commerical usage, but personal non-profit, non-commerical use should be free. I downloaded it free of their site and I think it comes with SuSE 6.3. There is also one called mSQL (miniSQL??) that is supose to be a GPL database for Unix. I dare you to type "SQL" into http://www.freshmeat.net : ) Jack -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* MySQL ( www.mysql.org ) would be my suggestion. If you going to Linux I think MySQL is probally the most widely used. If you wanted to make you databes accessable via the web check into PHP ( www.php.net ) it's compariable to Cold Fusion for NT. MySQL and PHP work great together!! MySQL is also pretty easy to install. They have it in .rpm and tar.gz format. I would recomend using the .tar.gz though.

PostgreSQL- very good: transaction tracking, objects, inheritance, free. Even has a tcl app that mimicks Access in many ways called pgaccess. MySQL - light footprint, NO transaction tracking, limited indexing, no foreign keys, free. InterBase, from Borland, commerical SQL engine which has all the goodies. You can download a fully functional version which has an expiration date on it.
