Hi all,
I do research in computational fluid dynamics and I'm wondering which
free database (postgreSQL,MySQL,Interbase, ...) is best suited to store
my datasets. My requirements are as follow:
-very large datasets (dozens of gigabytes and even more).
-data types : structured (multi dim arrays) or unstructured (blobs?)
- no high concurrency levels: few data producers/solver ( (<10) and few data consummers/visualisation tools (<10)
- security, transaction, recovery facilitities not very relevant
- fast data access, simple query (mainly storage and retrieval of whole data sets)
- and the last but not the least, the possiblity to embed the database directly in my commercial application to distribute the whole in a seamless way
What are the licency policy generally in use?
Any helps/comments/links are welcome. Thanks in advance
