... I and some other people asked similar questions (Oracle vs. DB2) in this
NG some time ago ...
... there was no reasonable answer. In this NG most are in favor of Oracle,
of course.
IMHO it just depends on Your targets for the database - and on Your pocket.
MySQL is free and one of the *fastest* DBs. Oracle is one of the *safest*.
Oracle and DB2 can store *Terabytes* of data - I doupt this for MySQL.
PostgreSQL is coming closer to Oracle - Postgres� P/SQL is almost identical
with Oracles� PL/SQL.
Not sure how much data space PostgreSQL can store.
This is just some overview.
Maybe some others have more insight into it.
Cheers
Jan
