Hi

I'm thinking about using the SQL version of DBMan for a database which will have a max of 5000 entries each upto 4000 characters long and I'm not sure which database to use.

The server will be running RedHat Linux and these two options are free: Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise for Linux (http://www.sybase.com/adaptiveserver/linux/)
IBM's DB2 Universal Database for LINUX (http://www.software.ibm.com/data/highered/)

Has anyone used DBMan with either of these and is it fairly straight forward to set up?

What would people recommend?

Chris

My choice would be mysql (http://www.mysql.com). I've used this in several large scale sites, and it's been incredible! Top it off, it's free -- although I'd really encourage you to support it by purchasing a one year license for $250.

Cheers,

Alex
