It's pretty fast, but it doesn't have the features some more advanced RDBMS systems have. If you need stuff like subqueries, etc. and can't afford to pay more than $0.00, PostgreSQL might be a better choice. :) jtrovato 11-06-2002, 08:55 PM I heard DB2 was the most popular Database out there Alex042 11-07-2002, 09:07 AM DB2 is popular, but with web-based applications mySql is more popular. So I guess its a relative term depending on what you're using the database for. Studio64 11-07-2002, 09:17 AM Are we talking web or overall? I think web based MySQL is probably the most common out there but, in use maybe MSSQL or DB2 (not really sure) I'm about 70% sure that the most implemented database is probably Oracle (judging by their stock price :cool: ) in for the entire IT field. |
