Database program
What is a good database program for Linux.
Currently using Access 2000, but the SW was borrowed and my friend is asking for the CDs. So, I'll have to remove it from my PC in order to comply with MS legal dispositions. And since Office XP is expensive as hell, we are considering giving MS the boot and install Linux, but we need a database program. TIA for any input.

Hi,
Normally, I would just pipe in about OpenOffice, but I can't remember if that has a database program. So, then I would consider MySQL.... http://www.mysql.com/ |

Open Office doesn't have the database component, but if you get the commercial version Star Office 6.0 .....
http://wwws.sun.com/software/star/st...e/6.0/faq.html See note 6. I think some of the commercial packages of the linux distros had licensed Star, as well as packaging the open version |

Yeah, Mandy licences StarOffice 6.0 for their PowerPack. But, I think MySQL is really what you want for server type use.
OOPS!

For a commercial install you're probably right, I was just looking at prices at a consumer level. Kind of hard to tell what someone is going to use a prg. for, unless you know their situation
 ie single user, multi-user, server, workstation. At any rate many of these folks in the corporate world allow trials. I think Star is using AdabasD, and they do allow downloading a trial of AdaBasD from http://www.softwareag.com/adabasd/ Personally I miss the address book, and database capabilities that Star 5.2 had when it was free, (as a single end-user) Last edited by MaXimum SMOKE; 01-19-2003 at 10:07 AM. |
