“The database server is as fundamental a component to enterprise
networks as any other piece of hardware or software in the computer
room in any large company. Network managers who have chosen to
roll out Linux as the basis for their enterprises should feel
emboldened by the wealth of high-end database systems available
from some high-powered vendors.”
“Database system vendors have been among the most active and
enthusiastic enterprise network technology companies to embrace the
open-source operating system.”
“Besides the big database companies, a reliable — and the most
popular – Linux database products is MySQL server. The widely used
database is familiar to Linux users because it is open-source.
Users have raved about its speed on Linux servers and the fact that
it is completely distribution-independent. Of course, as is the
case with many open source software products, MySQL is high on
robustness and low on documentation and support.”
