Previous responses by others are reasonable, although MySQL is better than Berend de Boer said for quick and effective apps using many accesses - few (and not too complex) updates. Another alternative is Interbase 4 in the ports collection. This is a back version of Interbase (which is a commercial database) but works very well & is free. Other native FreeBSD SQL databases which you pay for are Yard (http://www.yard.de/) and Solid (http://www.solidtech.com/) both of which have strengths and weaknesses but are full SQL implementations. You can also get trial versions of them. Plenty to play with here :) Regards Robin. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Robin Melville, Addiction Information Service Nottingham Alcohol & Drug Team Tel: +44 (0)115 952 9478 Fax: +44 (0)115 952 9421 work: robmel@nadt.org.uk Pages: http://www.nadt.org.uk/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-database" in the body of the message
