Re: OSS RDBMS Features Compared

Wow, this is really good. I am in the midst of doing the same thing
and will contribute directly as comparison features are uncovered.
Here's one thing: You say that MySQL does not support transactions
but it does now with InnoDB.

Subject: [GENERAL] OSS RDBMS Features Compared


Hi *,

for a migration project from MS SQL to some Open Source RDBMS we
have to evaluate the possible targets.

Since we expect this comparison to be of interest for several people
and projects out there, we post our currend findings with request
for feedback and comments. We will fold all additional information
into our document and post it again.

With this comparison we are definitely not making a statement about
one RDBMS being better than another. We have found and we are convinced
that there is no evidence at all to prefere one of them in general.
The purpose of this comparison is to find the best fit for a given
situation.

Attached you find a PDF document, I will send the OpenOffice file
for cooperative work upon request.

Yours faithfully,

  Sebastian Hetze
