Hm..... so now I can choose between a crippled binary-only oracle
version with no support, and
free-as-in-speech-and-beer postgresql with excellent support on the
mailing list?
I think I'll stay with postgresql ;-)
Just image you are running a production system on oracle 10g express,
and reach
the 4gb limit.... It's already bad enough that some versions of ms
exchange limit your
datafile to 16gb - I don't want my database to do the same..... thanks...
greetings, Florian Pflug
