This page is devoted to information about relational database systems, primarily dealing with those database systems available under Linux.

In the interests of being reasonably friendly to all vendors, I don't express too many opinions with regard to which database is ``best.'' I don't have any strong opinions on the matter; users' preferences will vary greatly based on their needs. |
Other RDBMS Web Resources for Linux
This web page is watched by Web Watcher
Other web pages with some fairly decent descriptions of Linux-based DBMSes include:
Linas Vepsta's Linux Databases also details various ``middleware'' that connect databases to web servers and to scripting languages like Perl. (As Perl is the most popular language for CGI programming, these are nearly one and the same thing.)
The ``Scientific Applications for Linux'' people also maintain a quite complete Database Systems - Relational DBMS page as well as one entitled SAL- Database Systems - Object-Oriented DBMS.
Linux Applications and Utilities Page has a list of databases.
Amazon and the NTLug Associate present The Linux Database (Mis Press Slackware Series)
Does this duplication of effort seem unfortunate to you? It does to me...
I also have a web page that discusses text databases, and one that discusses spreadsheets, both of which represent contrasting views and approaches to information management.
