Which is the best and easy-to-use database for RR

[Dan Shafer]

Alex.....

Asking which is best, easy-to-use and easy-to-learn database for RR is a bit
like asking "How long is a piece of string?"

There are so many variables that inform such a decision.

Here are a few off the top of my head.

1.  Do you really need a database or can you successfully store the data
directly in Revolution? There are a couple of choices for this approach and
depending on how much data  you need to store and whether it needs to be
shared data, this could be by far the easiest solution.

2.  If your databases are single-user and you really need or want
relationality, then altSQLite from Altuit is a good choice. But ti does not
support multi-user, shared, server-based databases.

3.  If you need an industrial strength database that is server-based and
multi-user by nature, my personal choice would be PostgreSQL although MySQL
has a lot of followers. I find the clear and open licensing of PostgreSQL
preferable to the obfuscation of the llicensing issues that accompanies
MySQL.

4.  Quite a number of people here love Paradigma Software's Valentina, for
which Rev includes built-in connections and hooks. It has a reputation as
being very fast. And if you come to RevCon West 2006 in Monterey in June (we
just extended the great Early Bird discount pricing by a few days), you'll
get a free copy of Valentina Office for up to five users for FREE.
