What DB should i choose?

I have been making desktop applications for a while now but faced some issues with my current database (SQL Server 2008) and decided to switch to a new database.

The problem i faced with SQL Server 2008 were:-

  1. takes about 30 min to install (Express And Management)
  2. installation needs the person to sit on that PC for 30 min while the setup asks for many configuration settings
  3. It can only be used on Microsoft OS

Can somebody suggest me a database that includes the following:-

  1. Easily Deployable - Should take less time and need least interaction for installation on CLIENT SIDE

  2. Real time Performance - I am making a heavy multi-user ERP software so that is why the performance for the same should be great

  3. Cross Platform - Should run on any OS

Disclaimer : Some people might say that this question might be similar to this one but its not and i also can't use SQLite because of these reasons.

Solution

  • You can try Oracle 12c (Current Version) or MySql. Oracle Database provides great features for all purpose. Both run on any OS.
