I haven't used MySQL but I've used Oracle for a number of years, Ingres for a few less and have recently set up a couple of medium sized databases using Postgres. I'd seriously look at Postgres. It supports record-locking, stored procedures, triggers and has a PL/SQL-like procedure language. There are some docs available for migrating at http://techdocs.postgresql.org/#convertfrom I'd also look at the latest release 7.3.x if you need support for multiple schemas in a single database instance. --rick Amy Tanner wrote: >We have an oracle database which I'd like to move to an open-source >database.
