Date: Fri, 30 Oct 1998 20:53:35 +0100 Organization: NederWare X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet E-mail/MAPI - 8.0.0.4211 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-database@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Hai All, For my first FreeBSD database implementation I want to use either DB2 or Interbase, of course the Linux versions as there is no FreeBSD version of a commercial database I believe. Has anyone experience with them? Or can someone recommend a different solution? Environment: two simultaneous users, running Win95. Client developed with Delphi 3.0. Will be traditional 2-tier system. Server: Pentium 233Mhz, 128MB, SCSI-3, 4GB disk. It's not a demanding environment. Solutions should be cheap (i.e. 250$-$1000 for db with 2 user licence). And most importantly, it should require absolutely no maintainance and be very robust. I'm a busy guy, this db should just run. Groetjes, Berend.
