Abstract :
In recent years, the open source products have achieved enterprise-level quality. In response, enterprises have become more interested in migrating from proprietary, commercial products to open source. Businesses around the world commonly use the two leading open source relational DBMSs, MySQL and PostgreSQL. The Los Alamos National Laboratory´s Research Library has used MySQL databases for years. However, a recent project to develop a comprehensive database of scientific journal articles and citation information revealed its unique strengths and features.
