I saw a posting today that MySQL was not recommended as an RDBMS for use with Zope. I'd like to use and external database for storing customers' price lists and product galleries; what (preferably free :) database would people recommend? What are the pros and cons of each?
My experience with SyBase is that the adapter development is kind of slow, and only Linux platform is supported. And currently it has some glitches with some data types (decimal with 10 or more digits), it does not support stored procedures, and the implementation in Zope 2.1.4 crashes when you have date fields ending between 59 and 60 seconds (e.g: 59.23 sec). Also, when there is database problem, the adapter very often just hangs and lock the database out, requiring a Zope reboot.
Can you provide more specific detials? I am running two seperate systems with Sybase, one of which is pounded on pretty hard, with zero problems. -- In flying I have learned that carelessness and overconfidence are usually far more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks. -- Wilbur Wright in a letter to his father, September 1900
