HiIt's probably not me who can give good advice, but our situation seems to be similar. I mean I have an system plan, partly written code in MS C# and an near fully written DBMS. Now I'm on to way to work in JAVA, to aviod all possible tipical MS problem.
The first question I had if I was going to use GPL or not? It because the copyleft. I don't want to make that program free. It is going to be an explicit economical system. Why should I make it free? But with GPL I would have to. This is the reason why the ORACLE could be better than
MS-SQL or Postgree-SQL (which I haven't used yet anyway).I read the licence possibilities at mysql.com and they offer two kind of licences. One is the GPL, and the other one is when you should pay. That's not a way I colud go on. I think you neither.
One more thing. I tried Eclipse if I colud work in it. I don't know it yet, but it seems fair system. On the other hand it is freezing on my FC4 (fully updated) system.
Both the Fedora built in version and what I have download from Eclipse.Also I found that anyone can download and use the Sun Java Studio freely after a simple registration in their developer center.
I'm no sure which one I will use at last, but there are several chance, we can think about!
Yes, and don't forget the "awfull" problem with the right! Peter On Sat, 31 Dec 2005 23:54:34 +0100, Ali Helmy <alihelmy gmail com> wrote:
Hey,About Eclipse, why isn't the version with fedora good enough? Are there somebugs or problems I should know about? I am going to develop the app as ajava program, to work on windows JVM, but I'm going to develop it on FC4...What version do you think I should use?About source control, I haven't really thought about which one to use, but I think I will stick to CVS since it's most popular on the www, and since yousay it fits with Eclipse... About DBMS, as I said, I want the app to work on windows in the end, so Oracle is the DBMS I know that has both linux & SQL distributions... Are there any others that are good enough? I won't be needing any complex features, just normal SQL queries...

I would not use the version that comes with Fedora, though. I want more control over my development environment so I usually install it separately. I also install Java separately and then control it with environmental variables. > If you are going to learn a new database, i.e. you haven't worked with > Oracle before, why not use PostgreSQL or MySQL... I agree with Sean here. PostgreSQL or MySQL will be quite a bit less complicated to set up and administer than Oracle. And, if you stick to mostly "standard" SQL, your applications will be fairly transferable between DBMS. > > Have any of you tried this combination before?

CVS, subversion, etc....Critical piece of advice here. Be sure that you pick a good one (Eclipse works with CVS "out of the box"). Quite often people discount the sourcecontrol system. Where I work, we have over 750Mg of source code under CVS. -- Rich Stanford -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list redhat com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list-- A.
