Re: swarm and database

[Rohan Oberoi]

If you want open source, there's Postgresql at 

"http://www.postgresql.org";

Or if you just want a free-of-charge database (on Linux only), the most
full-featured one available is undoubtedly Sybase 11.0.3.3, which is "a
free, unsupported release for development as well as deployment" and is
distributed as an RPM.  (This is an older version; their latest is 11.9.2).

"http://www.sybase.com/products/databaseservers/linux/index.html";

Regards,
Rohan.
