Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Free dbs / Mysql
Henrik - At my company, some of the production people use MySQL and it seems
to work fine for the specific purposes they put it. I think Jared did a good
job of pointing out the limitations of these free databases. Not a lot of
simultaneous updates, for example. Not good recovery. Study the limitations
and if you can live with the limitations, go for it. Look at your Oracle
licensing. If you have unlimited licensing on your server, then switching
some tasks to a free database on that same server wouldn't save you any
money.

Hello,
We are working with Oracle 8.1.7.2 on Sun Solaris. We want to check if a free db can replace some of our Oracle databases.
Is someone using a free database in production ? Any good or bad history ?
Regards
HEnrik
