I'm in need of a Linux database system similiar to Windows Microsoft Access. I really don't need anything with a lot of "bells and whistles". I don't even need multiuser capability. Just a basic system capable of holding data in a variable structure format. Also, the Linux system should not require a commercial license since I'm not planning on publishing the application source code.
Thus, can anybody recommend a very basic, reliable Linux database system?
Thanx
and look no further!
Mario,
I'd love to use mySql but AFAIK, it requires a commercial license if the developer does not publish his/her source code. In my situation, I cannot publish my source because it's a commercial product being marketed by a third party. Being a really small shop, I can't afford to purchase much in the way of software. Gotta pay the mortgage and eat first.
Thanx
Bob
If you really only need basic database features, then you should consider SQLite.
SQLite looks like an excellent choice since it's totally free.
THANX!!!!
Don't forget to check out PostgreSQL as well, if you should find that SQLite does not suit you for some reason.
SQLite is an awesome database engine; I've used it in several projects. It's faster than mysql, it doesn't require a daemon process to run in the background, and its source code is all public domain.
