hi
is there any dbms (relational) which is available for free & for
windows/linux. my other constraints is that the dbms should support
sql-99 & it should fit on 1 cd. i know about oracle 9i windows
personal edition but it takes 3 cds. how about mysqlplus, db2 & sql
server (these are the names i know). are they available for free
download ? if yes, tell me their url. do you know of any relational
dbms from other good companies like oracle, ibm, microsoft. how's
sybase ?
thx
I have a list at <http://database.profectus.com.au/> but I don't know
the download sizes. The list is of free and freely distributable
databases (plus some open source Java DBs which are probably not
relevant here). If the database is for personal use then you can count
yourself as a developer and use the enterprise versions of DB2 or
Oracle at no charge.
