Overview:

This paper is an in-depth evaluation on open source DBMS in consideration of their applicability on enterprise-level applications. Based on a catalog of requirements typical for enterprise-level applications, product manuals, books, websites, newsgroups and other DBMS-related resources have been worked through to give an extensive answer on requirements like licensing, operating system support, certain limits of a database, database interfaces, programming features, text searching capabilities, performance of the database, distributed transaction support, replication, high availability features, ease of administration and a technical appraisal in regard to the project activity, size of the development team and support availability. The following open source DBMS have been evaluated: Firebird 1.5.2, Ingres r3 3.0.1, MaxDB 7.5.0.23, MySQL 4.1.10 and PostgreSQL 8.0.1.
