[Sussex] OpenSource databases....

[pablo at wildfireprojects.com]

I looked at MySQL a couple of years ago, and as an Oracle man found it a bit lacking. My main gripe being the lack of stored procedures. I have recently been using Firebird, which is the Open Source fork of Interbase, it supports stored procedures, and is reasonably fast. My last contract was for a company using a firebird database to record real time video data from up to 20 cameras. If you're interested in checking out Firebird  go to www.ibphoenix.com.
