Hello all. Does anyone know of a database server application that will let me create a database larger than 4GB or 10GB? I know the cap for SQL Server Express 2005 (what I'm currently using) is 4GB and I believe the cap for SQL Server Express 2010 is 10GB, but I have a large scale migration that requires the database hovers around 50GB? Does SQL Server 2008 R2 180-day trial have any of these limitations? Thanks so much for the help. It is appreciated.

PostgreSQL will, and it's free. MySQL too (if it's sufficient for your needs). What's best depends on what you're doing and need...

The only limitation AFAIK is the expiry after 6 months.

Edit: as for Firebird, last I tried it I wasn't so impressed (poor toolset, poor VS integration, etc -- it's been a while though) but it's a decent RDBMS too.

Use Firebird. It can handle TB in size and is completely free.
