What would be the best database system for a small .NET application?
i have been reading some info on MySQL and PostgreSQL, but can't really see what is different between them.
Any other suggestions? I can't use MS-Access/SQL-Server because this appication has to run on OSX/Linux.
EDIT: i am also low on $$$ so i dont want to pay for anything.
What about XML files?
you cant run SQL queries on XML files.
mySQL is made for the friendly penguin..
postgreSQL is made for the unfriendly unix and can run on mr antarctica, but not too well
If your running the wingless bird, mySQL... much easier to deal with and its like feeding him fish...

anyone ever tried firebird?
You did mention a small .NET application. If it's using negligibly small data, you can simply use XML files. That's what I was saying. Although if you write a wrapper class, you can use SQL queries on XML files ;)
Especialy if you load it into a Dataset..... then you can do all sorts of things with it.

I installed it once without any issues. Then I could not figure out what was happening. So I uninstalled it. Haven't tried it again.Quote:
