[NTLUG:Discuss] database(s) on Linux

[Fred James]

We run two Oracle databases in production, one is < 10 GB and the other 
is < 18 GB.  Are those big?
My thought was to explore alternative database products, free or 
commercial, on Linux, rather than just assume we were already using the 
best for our situation.  I know "investment in what we have" is a heavy 
reason to keep doing more of the same, but "we keep doing the same thing 
and expecting different results" is also true.
