Postgresql and oracle

I need to publish some data on an intranet.

The database will be relatively simple around 15 tables. The problem is
that I will store some data that I will need to use in others applications
such as currencies and prices.

The other applications will be on other servers.

Is it more clear ?

I guess they are not in the same league. Everything depends on what you
want to achieve.

Hi everybody

I'm currently wondering about using postgresql instead of oracle database
for the future web development.

I've not seen any comparision between both. Is there one somewhere ?

I would like to know if it is possible with postgresql to access data from
one database to an another (in oracle the name is db_links). The utility of
this function is to maintain only one database with all the references and
to use it on the other.

Regards

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

Not from PostgreSQL that I am aware. However if you write your code on a
programming language like php/perl then you could have connections to as
many databases as you need.
