Sun offers support for Java DB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. They are mature, full-featured, low TCO complements to the Java
platform and Java System Software and to the Solaris operating system.
Java DB's ease of use, standards-compliance, full feature set, and small footprint (2MB) make it the ideal database for Java
developers and applications. Java DB is written in the Java programming language, providing "write once, run anywhere" portability. It can be
embedded in Java applications, requiring zero administration by the developer or user. It can also be used in client server mode. Java DB is
fully transactional and provides a standard SQL interface as well as a JDBC 4.0-compliant driver.
MySQL database is the world's most popular open source database because of its fast performance, high reliability, ease of
use, and dramatic cost savings. MySQL has also become the database of choice for a new generation of applications built on the LAMP stack
(Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python). MySQL runs on more than 20 platforms including Linux, Windows, OS X, Solaris OS, HP-UX, AIX, and
Netware, giving users flexibility that puts them in control. Whether customers are new to database technology or experienced developers or
DBAs, MySQL offers a comprehensive range of certified software, support, training and consulting to make them successful.
PostgreSQL for Solaris' advanced features, reliability, scalability and transactional integrity make it the right choice for
users who want the assurance of an advanced database on Solaris and all the cost benefits of open source. PostgreSQL for Solaris is fully
integrated into the Solaris 10 OS, with 24x7 support from Sun available world-wide. It has been performance-optimized and enhanced to take
advantage of leading Solaris technologies, with support for native DTrace Probes, Predictive Self-Healing and Solaris Containers.
