Excerpt of article text...
I've spent a lot of column space writing about REAL SQL Server, but in the interest of fairness I'd also like to give an overview of other database servers as well. I've decided to cover these database servers, primarily because they are all cross-platform and all support REALbasic pretty well:
FrontBase
PostgreSQL
OpenBase
MySQL
Valentina Server
We'll start this series off with FrontBase (http://www.frontbase.com).
FrontBase
FrontBase is a full-featured database server that is available for Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows. It was created by a Denmark company and was initially released just for Mac OS X. But in 2004, it went cross-platform with releases for Windows, Linux (and Unix). And as of April 15, 2006 FrontBase is available for free, with no usage restrictions. You can purchase support services from them, however.
Currently at version 4.2.7, FrontBase has many features you'd associate with a professional database server, including:
SQL 92 support
Stored procedures
EncryptionREALbasic native plug-in
