Apparently, a number of database exist for Linux. In fact, people have had luck with running Oracle with SCO compatability stuff (Oracle, of course, does not support this configuration). I really can't speak to the stability of any of the free/shareware databases under Linux. I run a Solaris x86, Oracle Workgroup Server machine. I use Perl5 and the various CGI:: and HTML:: modules to develop Web applications. The database interface is with DBI/DBD::Oracle modules. The Perl5 module list and the DBI page @ http://www.hermetica.com/ will tell what database interfaces are available. John groenvel@cse.psu.edu
