How much data do you put in the DB? Oracle has a free version, but it
has size limits.
(Ducking the slings and arrows of outraged PG fans: I prefer Postgre, I
really do.)
Hrm, it's hard to say as we're (hoping!) to grow. At the moment, a
few hundred megs. If the company gets off the ground, possibly much
more. also, we've got a few (dozen or so) side projects that each have
their own DBs.
I think the risk of running into a barrier like a size limit would be
too much. Even if we get off the ground, the storage needs of the DB
will outgrow our revenue. I'd hate to be in a position where I am
dependent on a (potentially) very expensive invoice while we are still
running on a shoe-string.
Thanks for the suggestion though! I will poke at the free/trial
version and, if I am unable to load-balance pgSQL and we run into
performance problems, I will have a better idea of what options I have
(ie: bigger iron vs. an oracle license).
Thanks!
Madi
