I'm interested in know if anyone has any stats on which is the most used database with Zope, or the one which give the most bang for the buck. Thanks, Lee
The most common used database might be MySQL. Getting "the most bang for the buck" depends on your requirements. So be a bit more specific.

MySQL: some bang / 0 bucks = infinity Interbase: good bang / 0 bucks = infinity PostgreSQL: great bang / 0 bucks = infinity Access: tiny bang / small bucks = .002 Oracle: great bang / big bucks = .004 In all seriousness, though, out of the Open Source contenders, I think PostgreSQL is a great choice. It has every feature I'd look for in a serious database, including procedural languages, triggers, views, etc. It is available for Unix and (with a little help) Windows. Interbase has great setup tools and Windows support, but lacks some important features (SELECT CASE ... comes to mind). MySQL is small and lean, works great under Unix and Windows, but has the fewest number of real features IMHO. Of course, if you have the money, I hear that Oracle makes a database now.... :-) And, of course, Microsoft makes a database, but from what I hear, it runs much faster under Windows NT that under Windows 2000...

Do you know of any Windows binaries? I haven't found any, at least none that don't require the Cygnus stuff to be installed. Most people, including me, don't want to mess with Cygnus shells and compilers, so Postgres is effectively unavailable unless someone knows of Windows binaries compiled under a regular Windows compiler. Anyone know where to get Windows binaries and a Zope database connector that doesn't need Cygnus? Cheers, Tom P

Good, modern installation instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/~kevlo/postgres/portNT.html I just set up a new 2000 box this week, but haven't yet determined that it works fine. If it does, I'll be happy to post my binaries. -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington
Yes I remember I saw this page before. Thanks for the reminder. But I still would rather not have to install all the Cygnus shell and IPC stuff. Tom P Joel Burton wrote -

Err, yes. Windows calc calls "positive infinity", though. Never trust software from a company that does that. -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington
