Hi all,
Just thought that the readers of this thread could benefit from learning that <A HREF="http://www.daffodildb.com/" title="daffodildb.com">Daffodil Software</a daffodildb.com> is Open Sourcing One$DB, an edition of its popular Java RDBMS, Daffodil DB. This will happen sometimes in Jan 2005 itself. To see how Daffodil DB compares with other databases, have a look at this <A HREF="http://www.daffodildb.com/daffodil-comparison-sheet.html" title="daffodildb.com">Guide</a daffodildb.com>.
It is true that Open Source is here to stay in a big way. As an example, Daffodil DB has recently been made compatible with <A HREF="http://www.compiere.org/" title="compiere.org">Compiere</a compiere.org>, a leading Open Source ERP with an installation base of over 800,000. Till now, Compiere (being very demanding on databases), could run only on Oracle. Having received better-than-expected response from the Compiere community, I can now safely say that anyone with the right product can dethrone the biggies, albeit in a niche.
