> Why are people surprised about the performance of mySQL versus whatever? Generally speaking, the more features an application has, the slower it will be. Thus, we can say that the more features a database has (seeing as how a database platform is actually just an application), the slower it will be. It's a miracle that Oracle is as fast as it is :)
<sarcasm>Yeah, I mean why use this ColdFusion garbage when you can do it all in Perl or Python for free.</sarcasm> The more features *that you need* an application has, the better choice it is. Access can be a great data source. So can flat text files. MySQL's better than those though, isn't it. I mean, it's a lot more complicated than text files, takes longer to write to the disk, but those features are somewhat useful.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
