[QUOTE="Kokopelli, post: 89895"] Oracle is the best IMHO but it is a bit of a dark art getting it installed and running optimally. Then DB tweaking is another dark art. Finally you really should have a ull time administrator, something you can get away with having as a part time duty for most other DBs not under heavy use. I have never had a problem with MS SQL Server, it is dead simple to install and maintain. I seem to use Oracle, DB2, and Postgres more often though. MySQL is OK, just not for me. SQLite is cool for apps where you need and embedded DB but not for learning. Finally Cloudscape has potential as well if you are writing in Java. [/QUOTE]
