Dear List,
We are starting a large new WebObjects project. The client does not appear to be worried about name-brand databases. Since FrontBase is now free, and this project might require multiple deployments, we thought FrontBase might be a good choice. We have used it until 5 years ago and were happy with it at that time.
A couple of concerns we have is that it may have lost its glory. Do they still make money from support/consulting to warrant continuing the development of their product? Will it run on Leopard?Their website looks very dated with all testimonials from before 2000. Does it support 64 bit? Can you manually set the caching in memory to a very high amount?
Thanks for any insight you might have.
With Kind Regards,
