Hi Ivan! Well, I don't have a 10 Gb database _yet_; but my server manages 3 databases that currently total over 17 Gb without a problem. (Also, linking tables from different databases by querying via ODBC and MS Access works like a charm!) I used MySQL for a while; and considered Interbase. I moved from MySQL because you can't update one table using data from another table via the standard update SQL statement in MySQL. I never went the Interbase route because at that time: 1. It only imported fixed-length text tables; and 2. The email list I joined seemed dead. Things may have changed since then. The online documentation for PostgreSQL has been very helpful; and the support on this email list is very good. I hope this helps, Andrew Gould --- Ivan Babikov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello All! > > Maybe this is one of those typical questions, but I > have heard people > complaining that Postgres is just for quite small > bases, less than 2Gb. > > Now, we have to choose a free database engine for an > inexpensive branch of > our project and Interbase looks better in sense of > capability to work with > quite big bases (up to 10-20Gb).
