Hello Everyone,

I considering moving a product to Solaris/Linux and trying to find a good
DB. Oracle is out due to cost so as far as i know the only reasonable
alternatives are Postgres or Codebase or MySQL. Does anyone here have any
experience using Codebase or MySql? If I stick with a true RDBMS then
Codebase is out. So that leaves Postgres and MySQL. I'm very used to all
the comforts of Oracle so I think Postgres stacks up better but maybe some
veterans could shed some light.

In other words, is Postgres really that much better than MySQL and/or the
other way around?

Also, in my searches I ran across an company called EnterpriseDB and another
like it. Basically they offer Postgres support. So I'm a little concerned
that I'm just robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Thanks
