Open source databases is "SIXTY%" cheaper !!!!!

You know .....that Open source databases can save enterprises up to 60 per cent over proprietary products, according to data collected by
recent searches.

A senior analyst at famous database management systems, estimated that average savings on the total cost of ownership are about 50 per cent. The data is based on surveys and customer interviews.

Open source databases such as Enterprise DB, Ingres and MySQL do not carry licence fees, and management tools. Soit is less expensive than for proprietary databases from Oracle, Microsoft and IBM.

Open source offers especially their proprietary competitors in low-end applications with databases of less than 200GB in size outshininigly .

The one fact os this research is that "Eighty per cent of the applications typically use only 30 per cent of the features found in commercial databases," and "The open source databases deliver those features today."

But the hitch is that open source databases generally lack the features for mission critical applications, trailing behind their proprietary peers in security, uptime, performance and features such as XML support.

Enterprise applications from Oracle and SAP also do not support open source databases today, but right now condition expects that to change "within a couple of years".

Open source database vendors typically do not position their products as low-cost alternatives.

But customers still consider price as the primary benefit of open source, ya this is fact.

"The number one reason why any customer would choose an open source database is cost. That still holds true today" .

But the low price is also enabling companies to set up new projects that would previously have been too expensive, such as data mining of log files and setting up data repositories.

In an attempt to the competition from low-cost open source databases, Oracle launched a free database last year that is essentially a scaled down version of its enterprise grade Oracle Database 10g.

The application targets test deployments for developers and students rather than enterprises.
