Hi,
it depends on what you want to do and of course your budget.
I can recommend FrontBase and Postgres and also the big players like
Oracle. Depending how complex your application is it might come that
you cannot work with FrontBase as it does not support so many (often
unimportant) features like custom C Functions called by a trigger,
resource management (limit memory usage from the Server) and other
things. These are supported by Postgres and Oracle but not important
for the most part of projects. BUT if you need them then you can never
use FrontBase. We for example use custom C Functions to update a
prevayler system (which is 1000 times faster than FrontBAse, Postgres
and their friends) which was a key feature. This was not possible with
FrontBase but easy with Postgres so we had to move. Oracle would suit,
too. Its even better than Postgres in this case as you can write a
function in java :-)
Most of our larger customer write a lot of custom C or Java Functions
to move businesslogic from the appserver to the database which makes
sense in their situations. But these are mainly really large projects
with a lot of different systems using the database.
If you are looking for a fast database go with Postgres: in our tests
it was the fastest database, with small and with very large tables. But
of course this might be just for our test systems. Just check it our
yourself as all three options are free for a developer.
Personally we prefer Postgres but we are testing FrontBase and Oracle
continuously just to be sure. Project Wonder has the EOF PlugIn and the
EOModeler Bundle for Postgres which means you can extend it (quite
important for us).
regards, David

Now that I upgraded to OpenBase 8 I found that is comes with 15 days
(only!) free development licence. What database would you use along
with webobjects if it had to be free (or at least free development
licence) and easy to install or well documented when using it with WO
? By now I'm trying to install MySQL using the info found at:
