It does appear that MySQL has come along way. We're actually looking at migrating to MySQL from our current OpenBase install for performance issues. Don't really hear much about OpenBase and WO these days ... does anyone still use it in production environments?

I suspect they very likely have compelling performance numbers, but I haven't had time to actually run tests with our real databases on it ... There are graphical MySQL front-ends (whereas FB's is fine, but sort of "passable"), and honestly there are pkg installs of it also at this point, so it's not a WHOLE lot more than double-click- to-install at this point. Slightly more obnoxious with permissions and users, etc, I suspect. I think FB wins pretty handily in the competition from zero-to-running-database, but how often are you doing that part? In terms of % of time spent, that's only a fraction of your db's life. I just don't want to discount it because a decade ago it sucked.

I am sure that you can make it go, but other than clustering, why bother? If you don't need that it seems like a lot of configuration work, research, etc. for what FrontBase gives you with a single click installer.

You know, I have thought this same thing of MySQL for years, but I think it's because I'm evaluating it based on its feature set from 1998 and not giving it a fair shake. I've read a lot of stories on, for instance, highavailability.com about huge sites that use it. I'm not too keen on the restriction that clustering is in- memory only, but it actually seems like a legitimate database these days (ONLY with InnoDB). It's on my list of things to evaluate more fairly :)

I am with Mike on this. If you just need free, FrontBase is hard to beat. If you must have open source, PostgreSQL. MySQL has some nice features, but... I dunno, it is still MySQLToy to me.

I prefer FrontBase ... It's trivial to setup, runs very well, and it's free. MySQL and PostgreSQL are obvious other choices as well.

Using Leopard > Eclipse > WOLips - which is the database of choice. I have heard postgres is the best of the opensource ones. But which one works best with replacement tool for EOModeler?
