Hey,
I need to develop a software for a small company, but I really feel
that I want to make it all based on free-software... The software will
include some code (Duh) which I will write in Java, along with a
DBMS...
So, I was thinking of using Eclipse for developing the software, and
using the new free Oracle 10g-Express Edition as the DBMS...
If you are going to learn a new database, i.e. you haven't worked with
Oracle before, why not use PostgreSQL or MySQL...
Have any of you tried this combination before? I think I'm
settled
about using Eclipse to develop the software, but how about the DBMS?
Suggestions?
If you need an alternative to Eclipse, try Kdevelop. However, eclipse
is a very useful piece of software for what you are starting.
Furthermore, what source control system is the application going to be
maintained under? CVS, subversion, etc....
