Daffodil DB / One$DB - How Do They Compare?

Posted by Cliff on from the collective-experiences dept.

capt.mellow asks: "It's been mentioned that Daffodil Software has just released php extensions for their java-based commercial and open-source databases, Daffodil DB and One$DB respectively, enabling these databases as options for running web applications. Personally, I have never heard of these databases before. How do they compare to the likes of Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, SQLite, et. al.? Has anyone used them in web applications, and would they care to relate their experiences?"

    Sounds like good products.

    However, there already is SQLite and PostgreSQL that covers the entire spectrum; up untill Oracle is needed.
    As I unfortanly doubt that these databases compare to Oracle, so they are in essence racing with a dead horse; it really might be a beautiful dead horse, but it's still dead.

    I really like new things, but they are pushing their luck when introducing a database into an already overcrowded market.

    But i personaly know PostgreSQL and MySQL, and would definetely go for the former.

    You won't be getting DBMSs so much better or more mature than PostgreSQL in the free software world. DBMSs of this quality don't simply spring into existence out of nowhere, hype notwithstanding.

    everything depends on what you are using it for

    if you did I might be able to compare and contrast
