Again, the previously provide link is NOT the version that is licensed free for commercial production use! The version in the headlines lately suggesting a free Oracle database for professional and production use is NOT YET PUBLICLY AVAILABLE [expected by year-end]. Still, the link below is likely to REPRESENT what we may expect Oracle's new product may behave like. On Nov. 1 I tried download below and it does have a very easy setup, and some of the GUI management features are nice [all web-based]. Other than an easy installer, compatibility to their expensive full database, and some GUI maintenance features [data import anyone?] there is nothing remarkable about this as compared to PostgreSQL except brand recognition and a large marketing budget. That said, I'd love to see what Postgre marketing could do with just 10% of Oracles marketing budget to help build product recognition. -----Original Message----- FYI, since there has been so much discussion. Have not reviewed license. Also too busy to download. --Rick http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/index.html ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faq
