Hi,
Let me elucidate my situation a bit, the organization where I am currently employed is split into factions. The faction I run is heavily OSS friendly , the application development/ DBA faction is not!
yes. i can imagine. I'd always imagine what it could be like to setup your FR/MySQL solution and have it ticking away, then letting them go ahead with the IAS/Oracle/Consultancy route... but I feel its unethical (waste of money, waste of time, wrong tools etc). however, if they DO want to pay 50k EUR then let them - FreeRADIUS, MySQL + Linux could always do with some hard cash to developer time! ;-)
What I need is proof positive that mysql / postgresql is at least as good as oracle for a radius DB.
pah. can of worms and a mix of politics. there are PLENTY of articles that feature such details and reports. the issue of FreeRADIUS is nothing here - the importance is how each database scales, how many trans/sec it can do. how you can configure failover/redundancy/hot-spare etc. but support is a major factor in many context. alan
