I have problem in choosing a data base working with open source linux


Hi,

I have to choose an open source data base to work with it on Linux, but I have many criteria, first it must be open source, and stable working, which accept a great amount of data going untill 500 table, which works with sql and jdbc and of course with GNU/Linux.

is there any one who have an idea about what i search, I was thinking in MySql, Ingrs and Postgresql what do you think about these program, are they compatible with what i search, are they stable and accept a big charge?

I can vouch for postgres, have seen ingres (commercial version) work reasonably
well, and personally stay clear from MySQL (even though some will argue that it
qualifies).



Cheers,

It would be useful to have more details about your project - jdbc and 500 tables is not sufficient, but a good start.

for now your parameters are :


open source
sql interface
jdbc connectivity


i would need to know where you want to run it, how much data you want to put in and out - what's the profile of the application - dss, oltp etc. is it a distributed env, how many clients will be connected etc. in other words - the more details you give, the more qualified answer you will expect to receive.

good luck

Don't know if it'll help you but I run multiple data bases with MySQL with no problems. One of these is roughly 50 tables where about 90% of them contain upwards of 10 million rows (a few over 40 million rows) and I've found query performance more than acceptable even with multi-table joins and the like. I also run GIS data bases with upwards of 20 million rows in tables and have no complaints there either. I have found MySQL to be robust, reliable and efficient. And, combined with Apache and PHP, well, no complaints on either Linux or Solaris (SPARC) platforms.

Hello

I believe that it misses some details and this what I have to add, i need to argument my choice:

The database will work with a java program
the load is very hight it is biger than one hundred user and more.
the size will be very hight, because it will work for at least 3 years, so maybe it will reach many GO.
Sure it will work under Linux and we don't care for the distribution.
I don't know with which machines they will work.

I know that Ingres can do this, but is it the best to do this, I knew that there is other open source data base like: Postgresql, FireBird Entreprise DB and if there is other choice with resonable argument it will be welcome.

So I am waiting for your help freinds.

for any specific details, do not hesitate

You're not really asking for anything specific, still.

Go to each RDBMs web-site and check out the testimonies of
people who use them?

Postgresql and Mysql are each quite fine products. Each of them will handle large databases without flinching. You might find that Mysql will be a bit easier to administer. You might check to see with a Google person to verify their table sizes. Google and Nasa use Mysql significantly. 100 users does not sound like a very large number. Good luck with your exploration.
