mysql - SQL Server Express alternatives beyond 2GB limit -

-

in our project (which developed using .net), use medium sized database 2 gb in size. using sql express edition;

how alternates sql server express perform? considering mysql , postgresql. (windows 7 x86, x64)

  • is there compelling advantage using mysql or postgresql?
  • what native .net object support?
  • built in xml types?
  • supporting binary data?
  • support of similar tool management studio?
  • installation ease?
  • memory footprint?
  • performance comparisons of these 3 databases?

is worth considering these alternatives, considering fact .net shop?

i have referred these related questions:

i'm person doesn't believe because .net shop have use microsoft sql server product, although microsoft loves if do. of course ties in nicely native libraries , development tools microsoft. me that's advantages stop sql server , it's more of playing field other database systems.

mysql - stay away it, things have gotten ugly , uglier oracle owns it. not worth having pay use second rate open source database in opinion when can use postgresql free , without fear.

postgresql - option. bsd license free use , change source. no limit on data lot's of features. if install time driving reason leave sql express postgresql install pretty fast on windows or linux, how fast don't know because don't care if takes 1 minute or 10 minutes on systems. on linux box it's fast if pre-compile or use package install, less 10 minutes.

what native .net object support? not sure is.

built in xml types? pg yes.

supporting binary data? pg yes.

support of similar tool management studio? pg yes pgadmin or few other third party vendors.

installation ease? easy more options sql server. example can compile different page size if wanted to.

memory footprint? can small or large depending on how adjust memory settings.

performance comparisons of these 3 databases? sql express can't hold more 4 10gb forget how 2008 express can do. aren't comparing apples oranges here. of them can perform if used correctly. pg performs well.

is worth considering alternative (especially considering fact .net shop)? yes it's worth considering depends if cost matters you. guess @ point out grow express edition , have start buying payed version. microsoft knows how sell , it's part of model out grow express. can't go wrong going postgresql if have chance test , validate in environment use time compare. don't default sql server because .net shop.

older post adds , more true today. http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-advocacy/2005-07/msg00008.php
