RE: [PLUG] Linux SQL Question
|
PostgreSQL is great - but I don't know if it has the replication you are
looking for. But I don't think it's your only open source alternative, I
think MySQL may have some capability in this area. You should research how
slashdot is setup, they may have just such a configuration.
as for comercial alternatives that run on linux, well just about everything
except MS SQL Server have linux versions. I've used Oracle8i (8.1.7) and it
works well - although I prefer PostgreSQL cause it's so much easier to
install,use,maintain. But Solid has a linux port, and I think Ingres and
Sybase both work opn linux. Pretty much any vendor wth a Unix port will
likely have a linux port.
good luck

Well, if you're looking for open source solutions, pretty much your onl
answer is Postgre, although I have no experience with their replication
model.
The other options are DB2 and Oracle. You can download a copy of DB2
from
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/data/db2/linux.
Also, SuSE has a pre-packaged DB2 server with OS at:

Hope this helps.
