Once again the group comes through:

I have decided to go with Postgres95 which is "almost" SQL complient and
will be with the next release. The limitations are very insignificant.

Check out the web site for details:
http://s2k-ftp.CS.Berkeley.EDU:8000/postgres95/

Here is the list of responses, thanks to all!

The following is a header from the list of free databases. If you
can't get it directly I can mail it to you. Please let me know if any
of them are of any use.

        Catalog of Free Database Systems

This document attemts to catalog databases that are
available without payment and with source.

The latest version of the document can be ftp'ed: get
pub/free-databases from ftp.idiom.com. The latest version is
always posted; the ftp version is never ahead.

There is a WWW version provided by Karl Guggisberg of the Software
Composition Group: http://cuiwww.unige.ch/~scg/FreeDB/

I will post this document about once a month (ha!) to comp.databases,
comp.databases.object, comp.answers, and news.answers. I will also
post it to other groups somewhat randomly.

Please send additions, corrections, and donations to
David Muir Sharnoff <free-databases_at_idiom.com>


I would like user testimonials. I want to know which databases
are usable and which are trustable! Is there any database on this
list that I could store payroll records on?

Thanks,

WE have "Postgres" running on our ALpha 200 running digital unix 1.3.2 - 
i am not sure exactly the extent of the sql compliancy but we have a 
database defined and are writing applications using it. I suspect it isnt 
100% ansi sql compliant.

I'm looking for the same thing and will be interested in your summary.  I 
found a list of free databases that you may find interesting, though I 
haven't decided which one to evaulate first.

DO a archie on "msql", or check the perl newsgroup or archives. It is a minimal
sql implementation.

Keep on dreaming - and load postgres95, a free public domain relational sql-
based database which run's on DU....
Just look at your nearest site for pg95 or postgres95....
