Small DB for a small computer

Small DB for a small computer

Post by Frit » Wed, 06 Mar 2002 09:28:11



Hi I've got a p75 with 16MB of ram in it currently running a very cut down
version of RH7.0. It does however have an 11Gb HD in it.

What I'm looking for is running a simple database from it with maybe 3 or
four small tables. It only has to be fairly simple and must have jdbc client
support.

Any recommendations for something that might fit the bill?

What about a pure Java db?  Peter van der Linden in his new "Just Java,
5th Edition":

JDBC chapter recommends using the McKoi db for his examples:

I don't know if it would be fast enough for you, but it is GPL'd so
you could easily try it out...

1. Small low-power motherboard for small linux server

I'm looking for a small (preferably Micro-ATX or smaller) motherboard
for a small, sit-in-the-corner-and-do-the-job linux web server.  For the past
three years I've used a Micro-ATX DFI motherboard with a K6II-500 CPU and
a Via chipset, but I'm now looking for a little bit more CPU power.  It
has to be rock-solid-stable; I expect uptimes measured in years.  Low
power consumption for maximal UPS hang-time is important; my current system
only draws 50W or so and the UPS can ride out power outages of a few
hours.

I highly desire on-motherboard video and network support so that there's
no need for any cards.  Low power consumption is a must.  I don't care if
the CPU is AMD or Intel.   No intensive graphics will be done on this box;
I don't even install X11 and video usage will be limited to text console use.

The Asus A7N266-VM comes close.  It has on-motherboard video and network
support, and I could put just about any Duron on it.  My only concern
is that the onboard Nvidia Nforce GeFORCE2 video is way overkill for
a plain-old text console, and that it'll suck more power and generate
more heat than necessary.

On-motherboard video, I suppose, could be skipped if good support for a
serial console exists in the BIOS.

I will probably continue to use a single IDE hard drive in the machine,
but if someone has a good suggestion for a small motherboard with on-board SCSI
yet still with low power consumption then I'll listen.

Any recommendations?
