Hi Folks,
We are starting a project in JBoss and we have a debate as to whether to use MySQL or HSQLDB in production. The timescale for deployment is tight
Can anybody give practical experience and/or facts to fuel this debate.
The basic argument is....
Pro Mysql: Good solid performant database with scalability in mind.
Con Mysql: We pay a development time penalty in terms of deployment
Pro HSQLDB: Ready built into JBoss, nothing to do for deployment
Con HSQLDB: ????????
[BTW The real issue is not actually whether we use MySQL, but can we get away without using it for the first version, and switch over in a later version]
Many Thanks for any input
Ian Hunter
