What, no SQL Server? 
I use Oracle at work and while it's very stable, configuring it is a big pain. Good luck if you have to read Oracle documentation. My vote has to go with PostgreSQL. |

PostgreSQL but...
PostgreSQL got my vote, but its backup capability is clunky: it'd sure be nice if you could back up a single DB in a way that allowed full roll-forward capability. (I'm fond of Sybase too....)

Not to hash up what is now a relatively old post, but as a database newb, what is the database part of Base? If Base is a front end of a database, then what is the database that it acts as a front end to? Is that database a part of Base as well? |
