well if you're unemployed at the moment and don't want to fork out on VPS hosting ... and working on a portfolio ... moving over to mysql could be worth your while...
50 quid will get you some shared hosting .. which will let you run a few domains ... have a few mysql databases and so on ...
I don't think that current offerings in irish shared hosting are including tomcat ... I could be wrong however.
Edit: I might add .. depending on the type of job you're going for ... web development ? ... you'll probably find people more interested in mysql / postsql |
