glass fish(database)
In my programming class we are about to get into databases (at long last) and i wanted to know is glass fish good? and why are we using glass fish when we can use a more known and trusted database system, seems weird!!! |

Ask the exact same thing of you tutor. How can we possibly know?! Maybe s/he gets a kickback from GlassFish! My free fonts www.utfi.net

All databases are the same basically. For the PC Access is probably the standard, but then there are heavier systems like Oracle, MSSQL Server, and Unix offerings like mySQL for web sites. Perhaps this glass fish is a simple database so easy place to learn, perhaps it is cheaper for the education authorities to buy 30 licences than Access. Don't worry once you understand databases it is just a question of learning the new controls and perhaps more complicated options. |

Maybe because it is made by Sun, uses Java, or is open source,? GlassFish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
