Dubai Expat Forum - Dubai high tech talk

Anything other then Oracle?


Not_Sure Any other 3rd party solution providors other then ORACLE? for database systems used in small businesses? -filemanagment -etc
St.Lucifer
Your question isnt very clear.. albeit.. if u are looking at different rdbms systems. there are lots
Microsoft SQL Server or mySQL would be my pick MS SQL also has a free dbms SQL Express which has a db limitation of 4GB. ^ian^ Yeah, are you after Solutions Providers or just the RDBMS? try MySQL or if you want transaction rollback and locking capabilities, PostgreSQL. St.Lucifer
Hmm I thought mySql has transaction roll back and table locking capabilities as well..
If U've to do a row locking or say record level locking, it has to be tweaked..
and i think the major difference is in the programming part.. with some limitations with views, some queries (if u are used to t-sql) and triggers and some datamining capabilities.. ^ian^
It does since 4.1 but I have not heard anything good about them.
Remember it's primarily geared towards LAMP setups where transactions are not really needed. St.Lucifer
Agreed abt the LAMP thing.. but even a forum can have transaction issues... ^ian^
How many rollbacks are you going to be doing on a forum? Concord ^^^ computer geek talk. but it is ok since Ian has helped me out with my internet connection. I think one of the times the "on" button needed to be pressed :oops: St.Lucifer
One i can say just out of no where.. a user starts posting on a thread and for some reason while posting the connection is lost or an error has occured.. a sure case for rollback ^ian^
Surely a forum wouldn't be classed as mission critical enough to even bother?

St.Lucifer ^^ haha not a mission critical operation.. but sure enough case for a transaction rollback to occur... and if u take keeping the posts accurate as a mission and follow acid properties, yes it is mission critical.. Not_Sure Complete package including GUI. Im not going to program it. After speaking to an ORacle representative. They agreed to have a meetin gof our requirments. So i guess they will do it all... ^ian^
