Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Can anyone recommend the best database to use (both commercial and freeware) for a rather intensive e-commerce based web app? The database will have to support perhaps up to 20 concurrent users, and will have to keep track of more than 10,000 records. Hence, performance is an issue. Another issue is availability of ODBC drivers and APIs, as my web programs will have to interface with this database. As this is my first time *attempting* to set up a freeBSD system, I am quite in the dark as to what's available, etc. Help will be greatly appreciated ....
