| I have an ecommerce site that needs a searchable database. Does anyone know of any opensource databases that I can plug and play onm my site? If not, what is the best database to use? Access, sql, or any others??
Thanks

| Use MySQL, it is the best free db

| You can use MySQL (linux and windows) and PgSQL(linux).
I prefer to use MySQL.
Visit mysql.com to learn more.
If you have an e-commerce site than you don't use a database already? or is still in development.
You can look over oscommerce.com a free e-commerce application,look at the code and at the database schema, it will help you.

| It is definitely not a postgresql (PgSQL) if you ask such a question - use mysql - it is simpler to understand.
If you need an ecommerce solution that already works with database look at oscommerce or a any ecommerce plugin for joomla or drupal. All are free and opensource.

| Agreed!
PostgreSQL is absolutely wonderful, but the learning curve is much steeper.
You can grab a MySQL book and be up and running in a couple minutes -- and your host likely already supports it.

| I always code in PHP and i think mysql is very simple and I never had problems with it.
