Database management in windows or linux?
542726
The Windows registry is essentially a DB. Also Windows comes with the Access engine installed (The Access app that comes with Office is actually just a front-end for managing this system). You can for example create Access DB's and manipulate them using your own programs by creating a System DSN using the ODBC datasource control panel. \n\nLinux (and other Unix-like systems) typically stores all its settings a plain-text files in the "/etc" directory. The Kernel itself has some DB like features, but it does not really use a DBMS. Some examples are (The process table, the file descriptor table, inode table ...). Most of these are used to keep track of the state of the system as it runs. Anything higher up that interfacing with devices, is handled by user-space software.

MySQL and ProgreSQL both have ODBC drivers.  Once installed you will be able to access the database on the Linux server.

These are two types of database managment softwares in a nutshell RDBMS are better becaus they reduce data redundancy (data duplication) by using Normalization.\n\nfor a database to be classified as RDBMS they have to follow certin rules by Dr. EF Codd.\n\nyou questions answer is quite descriptive, why dont you try the following links:\n\n1. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/R/RDBMS.html\n2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDBMS\n\nyou'll learn more this way.\n\nbye

Personally I would suggest either Java or C# (C-Sharp).  Both of these languages lend themselves to very easy code and easily debugable code.  Both will easily allow you to connect to a Database and do what you need.  As far as output and looks, they're both really similar, if you choose to do a web front it you can use html and all the features of html to aide the design and output.  \n\nIf you choose C++, it will be extreemly difficult to get what you want done.  It will take far more effort to connect to a data back in C++ than it would in Java or C#. \n\nVB is very easy as well, but personally i hate it.  It is far too simple, and you loose flexability.\n\nHope this helps..

There are a variety of ways to connect to an Access database from within a C++ app.\n\nThe oldest and most widely compatible is ODBC. It's not as fully featured as some other technologies, but it's the standard minimum compliance of pretty much everything.\n\nIf you're running on Windows, I'd suggest using ADO or ADO.NET. They're virtually the same interface, ADO.NET has some features that ADO doesn't have, but I'm not sure it's completely compatible with C++.

Business database software. Similar to Oracle. Originally from Germany.

Our office still uses ColdFusion.  The best database to go with ColdFusion is definately ORACLE without a doubt.\n\nHowever, ColdFusion does have a problem with heavy  duty processing.  If you can perform most of your processing on the database side, I would strongly advise you to do so.

None of the programs used on windows can run under linux,not even the games.but there are a lot of alternatives.for office exists open office,there is also a player like winamp etc,and the best part is they're all free...

That will not be a database program because no database is involved!\n\nWhat language is the answer to be coded in?\n\nHow will the data be organised?\nOne line per data item?  \nThis will need x reads per property.  Will also leave blank lines where items missing.\n\nOne line per property.  Will there be fixed size data items or will you have a seperator? The seperator cannot be used in the data item!

to run all the above in windows you hav a s/w called\nWAMP(Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP) ... its free available over the net.. install that and its ready to use.

Check out Microsoft\n\nOr just Google database design or database normalization.

One option is apache2triad:\nIt includes apache, php, mysql, postgres, xmail, slimftp, perl and python.\nIt is good, but it might be overkill.\n\nAlso see http://www.uniformserver.com/\nI've not used this but my brother showed it to me. It is portable (if you want can run off a usb flash card) and includes apache, mysql and php.\n\nBoth include phpmyadmin, and can be accessed with openoffice database.

First you need to know what you want the program to do. If you want to keep track of information, you'd be best with a databes. If you want to do stuff in windows, you'd go with VB. \n\nPlease flesh out your needs some more.\n\ngreetz\nGB

Oracle is in my opinion the best RDBMS. But I am also a big MySQL fan. If needed one can also try DB2.\nIMHO Ms Access and SQL server are not the best of products for organisations to adopt.

MySQL is the easiest to install and use which uses a client-server architecture.  It runs on windows and Unix-derivitives such as Linux.  It is also extremely fast and blows the pants off of SQL Server.\n\nMicrosoft SQL Server is a good choice for an enterprise-level windows database.  You will need very good hardware to get good performance from SQL Server.\n\nOracle is overpriced and very complex.  It's powerful, but convoluted and takes a lot of skill to manage properly.\n\nOthers to look at include Postgres (like MySQL but not as widely used),  IBM DB2, Sybase, Interbase (Borland)

Normally private software have their own way to store data through proprietary format files.\n\nAn Microsoft Access or Microsoft SQL Server can do the same thing (and often better) than those proprietary format but you need to buy them (and they are expensive).\n\nIn fact, Access and SQL Server is normally used by business to keep their information about their customer. I won't tell you the difference between all those databases but if you really need something to work with, I suggest you SQL Server 2005 Express which is totally free.

Linux is, by far.\nApple is better for multimedia.\nWindoze is great for crashing, hanging, having a senseless file manager, etc...\nWindoze just plain blows.\n\nI ditched XP about two years ago and started using Slackware Linux. There is no comparison.\n\nLinux is also free, and applications for Linux are free. Check out http://www.distrowatch.org and http://www.sourceforge.net
