Folks,

For developing corporate database apps using OS X server, your options for selecting the RDBMS seem somewhat limited. Other then the MySql and Postgresql the following is what I know of:

Sybase (just recently announced)
Oracle (yet to come - currently in developer release)
FrontBase
OpenBase

Anyone have other suggestions/corrections ?
What has been your experience with any of the above and what would be your recommendation ?

Thanks
 
I intially used MySQL on OS X a while back but moved over to Postgres as it just seems more 'grown up' for want of a better phrase. Can't do with out stuff like views and what not.

Had no real problems and it suits my requirements fine. Been using it for web development work - with a postgres database behind a JSP custom tag /servlet driven framework thing I've been building to make dynamic sites easier to build. This is my own little home project - when I get time.

We mainly use postgres/linux at work for some pretty big commercial sites and it seems to handle all we can chuck at it pretty well. I would presume OS X would be reasonably comparable to this and should cope well.

From what I've seen at work (where we support multiple db formats) I have no need to look into stuff like Oracle etc for my own personal needs.

I guess it depends upon the demands you are going to place on the db you choose and exactly what you are doing with it.
