Skoob is obviously an asshole pimple, which means he can't see for shit. He should try to graduate to at least facial zit before he comes out to play with the big boys. If I'm raw towards excessive immaturity or misinformation, it's because I want this forum to retain the validity it's gained, and grow in that direction, and not regress. Ignorance is the human condition. Stupidity, where found, is usually unavoidable. So be it. The puerile expectation of having everything handed to one on a platter, on demand, has no place here, I hope. Nor has the expectation of being coddled, no matter what, just because mommy does it.

Oracle also has a free version that can store a maximum of 4GB:

Isn't the license for Oracle like $10,000 or something? Only extremly big companies can get there hands on it, and only big comapnies would need something so advanced.

I'm aware that this isn't a language, and I realise now that I shouldn't've posted in the 'Other Languages' section, but done's done.

Thanks for the replies and links. I'll have a closer look, especially at that free version.


Edit: $10k is quite a bit, yes. Didn't know the price earlier, though xavier linked to a free version to try.

I've coded Oracle since 1981.

1. There is a free Oracle 10g express for either PC's or Linux. It's limited but useful.

2. Companies buy Oracle because it is scalable - that means you can write an app that runs well for a company with 2500 acounts and ten transactions per second - or one with 100,000,000 million accounts and 2500 TPS.

3. Sybase, Oracle and DB2 are the industry standard DB platforms.

Same here... Pizentios doesn't like it. It could be because my host provides MySQL, not PostgreSQL...
