There is a new development: Fyracle.
Fyracle is an enterprise quality RDBMS that accepts Oracle style SQL and implements a large subset of PL/SQL. It is based on the well known Firebird database.
You can find it at:
http://www.fyracle.org
Or read about it at:

Fyracle is still a development product (current version is 0.8.2), but it already supports enough of Oracle's PL/SQL and SQL features to run the sizeable Oracle application "Compiere" (http://www.compiere.org).
There are installers for Linux and Windows available on the site if you want to try it for yourself. Received on Sat Dec 04 2004 - 09:01:06 CST
