Novell Releases PostgreSQL for NetWare

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the love-it-on-linux-love-it-everywhere dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Ever since Oracle announced they wouldn't port 9i to NetWare, Novell has been scrambling to find an enterprise-capable DB. Now it looks like they're settling on PostgreSQL. This follows their decision to ship Apache as the default web server for NetWare 6. Linux aficionados might sneer at an old workhorse like NetWare, but it's got more than 80 million client licenses worldwide, and it ain't going anywhere anytime soon."

  1. MySQL vs. PostgreSQL posts - a lot of them!!! by haggar · · Score: 4, Flamebait

    Gusy, hmmm.. while you're all tied up in a nice flamewar between the two camps... you know that MySQL is ported to NetWare, too, didn't you? It's officially supported, in fact, done by some Novell engineers as far as I know.

    Strange that only PostgreSQL got mentioned in the headline.
