I see no need to risk suggesting some other DB since I'm not up-to-date at all with their specifics and data is <B>really</B> important.<BR/><BR/>Plus that, usually, the client already has some DBMS in-place (most likely not Derby) and I use that.<BR/><BR/>There's a lot of hear-say in my little note above. Basically if I have a <I>choice</I>, I use PostgreSQL and I avoid MySQL (which needed some special engine to have referential integrity); I also avoid anything not open-source. All the other DBMS are just fighting for my attention, but I like to focus on coding stuff.<BR/><BR/>Signed,<BR/>A conservative, shallow DB userEmilian Boldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960978131273810766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30278691.post-1313362490518647512007-06-30T02:15:00.000+03:002007-06-30T02:15:00.000+03:00Hi, Emilian. I saw your comment on Google Analyti...Hi, Emilian. I saw your comment on Google Analytics and decided to check out your blog. I saw this entry on Java DB.<BR/><BR/>I am curious, why wouldn't you put Java DB in production? Many people are, but I know there are others who like you believe somehow that it's not production quality. <BR/><BR/>I'd like to either understand your issues and work to get them fixed or debunk them :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04898259486137280102noreply@blogger.com
