Cheap/Free SQL

Well,

you may want to take a look at Interbase 4.0 for Linux.  I am using it
with Red Hat 5.0 supporting approx 10 users. Server is a P-200 w 8GB HD
and 128 MB RAM. Performance is acceptable. Using Quick Reports and
Crystal Reports. Not using and UDF's or any type of Linux based code
accessing the IB Server. All client PC's are Win98. No problems yet.
you may also want to check out MySQL another Linux based db that uses
ODBC.

-cheers.

Well, you can distribute the MSDE for free and it's SQL Server 7.0
with some limitations. It runs on Win 95, 98 as well as NTWS & NTSV.
If you are currently on 6.5 I would look at that.

Re:Cheap/Free SQL


How can I get the MSDE. I have MS Office 2000 Professional and I am trying to figure out how
to load the MSDE for development use. Do I need MS O2K Premium or Developer for this?  Will
MSDE be shipping with VC++/VB. If  so I will purchase just for that capability.

Re:Cheap/Free SQL


I have the 'Premium' version, and MSDE is on disk 1, in SQL\X86\SETUP,
SETUPSQL.EXE.
Don't know if it's in the 'Professional' version though.
