( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Hi Monks,

I've searched PM, but I can't see a good spirited discussion of Linux databases of the type that occur for IDE's from time to time.

So here it is:

I expect a good Linux or Cross-Platform database to:

  • Be free, but not necessarily open source
  • Have good (preferably free) graphical support tools available
  • Have an active support community and be popular on PM
  • Support SQL92
  • Be ultra-reliable
  • Have good, easy to set-up and use, Perl-ready connection protocols (eg DBD::something)
  • <update>Good, clear error messages (thanks Moritz)</update>
  1. I guess I've missed a lot, so what do you expect from a database?
  2. What is your favourite Linux or cross-platform database?

Have a good day

Regards

Steve

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
