Free DB

+Pie Number of slices to send: Send
I am starting new project and I need DB. Is there any free SQL DB that is suitable for production enviroment. It will be non comercial project so
there is no chance to buy something like Oracle which I use in my work.

thanks

MySQL (using the InnoDB engine) is currently used in many commercial
products. As long as you are not selling a product containing the DB, but
rather are only providing a service (i.e. a website) that uses the DB, then
it is free. If, however, you distribute anything that relys on the DB,
(i.e. selling your program and it needs MySQL), then there is a license
fee.

I am not very sure but If it is non comercial project you can download oracle 10g for free, becuase as per their policy


You may not:

- use the programs for your own internal data processing or for any commercial or production purposes, or use the programs for any purpose except the development of a single prototype of your application;

- use the application you develop with the programs for any internal data processing or commercial or production purposes without securing an appropriate license from us;

FireBird is an enterprise level RDBMS that's open source.
It's in fact an improved version of Interbase which is still available for purchase (and is used for things like tracking the US inventory of nuclear materials).

Excellent native, ODBC and JDBC support, servers for many platforms, high performance, low maintenance, high standards compliance.

I believe postgres is quite a popular free database.

I'm a big fan of PostgreSQL, but I've also heard good things about MySQL.

I did a project for a client using Firebird but found it to be a bit too primitive for my tastes (no dataset slicing, for example). But I do not know if they were using the most up-to-date version.
