hi there.
i'm thinking of developing an app using Java to manage a library
(books, clients, orders..etc).
I am not sure of how to store the data, maybe using files or a DBMS.
The ammount of data is probably not much to justify the use of a DBMS.
I wanted to know your opinion, and how can i implement it?
I've searched some JDBC drivers, but most of it are not free :( I found
one free for MySQL.
The disadvantages of using a DBMS is that i need to run a server, and
this app only runs on one pc.. no need for network or anything.
what do you think?
thanks a lot

If you want to use java as your development language, I would recommend
MySQL as a cheap (free) but extremely powerfull database. And, as you
have already discovered, it has a free JDBC driver already written. The
AWT is very cumbersome in java however.
Even though it is standalone. I would recommend writing in JSP on top
of Tomcat. You would use your browser as the GUI component but java for
all the backend processing. That is what I did for one of my
applications and it works great.
Also, if you ever want to access the application from outside, it would
require minimal effort to do it.
I hope this helps! nu********@gmai l.com wrote: hi there.

Hmm? MySQL(tm) is only "free" if you plan to give away all of your
code, licensing it under the GPL or some similar license. If you plan
to connect anything to it that isn't "free software," it costs $450
USD per server.

You're only required to GPL code if it is statically linked to the
core MySQL engine (which is itself GPL'ed). If you're statically
linking your web app to a database server, you've got bigger problems
than the GPL.

If that is your interpretation of MySQL AB's license, then I suggest
you take that up with the vendor.
<http://www.mysql.com/products/licensing/>
At MySQL AB, we believe in open source / free software and we welcome
all initiatives to publish more software under the GPL license, just
as we have done.
In their simplest form, the following are general licensing
guidelines:
* If your software is licensed under either the
GPL-compatible Free Software License as defined by the Free
Software Foundation or approved by OSI, then use our GPL
licensed version.
* If you distribute a proprietary application in any way, and you
are not licensing and distributing your source code under GPL,
you need to purchase a commercial license of MySQL
* If you are unsure, we recommend that you buy our cost effective
commercial licenses. That is the safest solution. Licensing
questions can submitted online for our advice, and we encourage
you to refer to the Free Software Foundation or a lawyer as
appropriate.
That set of "guidelines " doesn't say anything about static linking.
It says that if the application is proprietary "in any way," then you
have to pay.

On the other hand, you have different fingers.
I've had a discussion of this subject with MySQL Sales Manager. The bottom
line: if the application is not dependent on MySQL for its operation (e.g.
can work with some other RDBMS) and communicates with MySQL via a JDBC
driver (therefore, does not have static links to MySQL) then it does not
come under GPL. This is pretty much in line with the common interpretation
of GPL; the only difference being the "aggregatio n" (distribution of the
GPLed software with the non-GPLed product), which is specifically
permissible under the GPL, but not in MySQL's interpretation.

Greetings,
I am in the process of installing a SQL database at a customer
location. I have determined that there are 3 ways to do this, and I
wanted to know which is the best of the 3.
1 Install From Script.
In this method I create the database and its objects in scripts that
are run via osql utility on the SQL server machine. For loading any
initial data that I need in the database I also run bcp commands.
