> Is there a "recomended" database to use with Perl?
No. Perl is perfect with ANY database. DBI is the most wonderful thing in the world.
(Added with slight edits)
> tell me some good and bad facts about databases
- MySQL: Fast, free, nice tools / Toy Database
- M$ SQL Server: Hard Core, nice tools, cheaper than Oracle / Evil, only on NT
- Access: Easy to use, comes with Office / crippled by M$, evil, only on Windows
- Oracle: Can handle anything, looks great on the resume / Fat, bloated, ancient code base, Expensive as hell, pain in the ass to admin, not FreeBSD friendly
- PostgreSQL: Fast, free, Real RDBMS / Designed for Unixesque systems, hard to find Hosting

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
