| ¿Have you considered PostgreSQL? It is on the ports collection, and is a | heavy duty database engine, with transactions, subqueries (only partial | support), etc. Version 6.5 will be released in about two weeks, and it | adds MVCC (multi-version concurrency control), which will improve a lot | its multi-user capabilities. And, I know of some projects that are using | it for multi-GB databases. I've been using it for or student database | for more than two years (since version 6.0), and am quite happy with | it. See www.postgresql.org for more information. If I recall correctly, isn't postgresql *based* off of the Berkeley DB engine? -Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
