Open source's next frontier | |
|
||
| Time: 02:47 EST/07:47 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Open-source software, increasingly popular with budget-conscious companies, is beginning to expand into a new area: The lucrative infrastructure-software market dominated by industry giants such as Microsoft. Individual open-source database and other applications are already popular. Now two open-source projects have launched efforts to assemble "stacks" of software applications that offer an open-source equivalent to commercial software from Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, BEA Systems and others. | ||

#1 What?
What are you basing that comment on? |

| #1 Not quite. Berkeley DB, PostgreSQL, MySQL etc. are all very good at what they do, although I personally think MySQL is a joke of a DB in it's current state. But they are not par with DB2, Oracle, Sybase and SQL Server. Those 4 are very solid and whilst some are better than others in certain areas, they are overall a lot better than what you can currently get from open source. But if you don't need the features that they provide then PostreSQL may be all you will ever need. |
