Databases - opensource

[Bryan Strawser]

For what it's worth, I use MySQL pretty exclusively in development..  I've
not used it for any extremely large scale applications/websites/db work yet,
but for small - medium sized stuff it works great.

I recently built an application around PostgreSQL, worked well also.. but I
prefer mySQL...

I occasionally do some work for my primary employer using FOCUS (ugh) to
query against DB2 as well as Access 2000 via ODBC to access DB2 tables on an
IBM mainframe..  I don't care to do much of that ;)


Hope that helps,
Bryan
