Opensource Database - which one
-
What is the best/most commonly used opensource database for Linux? I want to create a database application and want to make use of a commonly used database or is there something like ODBC for Linux? :)

Good morning to you, :) Two open source databases that comes into mind here... MySql [^] if you want to develop a Client/Server architecture. SqlLite [^] if you want a simple database (SQL dialect, transactions etc) that you can lug around with your application. By the way, SqlLite is in the public domain as well! Cheers, Tom :cool:

i would have said mysql for sure up until oracle bought them ... now i am migrating to postgres and would advise you to start there odbc is available but what are you trying to write? a desktop app? a web app? most web languages have native db access layers built in, as do a lot of desktop app libraries and languages hth

A Qt desktop app that will need access to a database

http://chaos.troll.no/~tavestbo/webkit/domapi/database.html[^] see here the Qt Database classes support all the common db engines natively ;)

SQLIte should be a perfect fit. It is small, fast and well supported.

How much of what kind of data? If you have a very simple set of tables with small quantities of data then SQLite is ok. It is certainly small and easy to install :) For anything remotely sophisticated use Postgres.
