Hello, I'm not sure if this list is appropriate for this issue but I'll go ahead ask for your input anyway. We're trying to decide to choose DBMS as a backend of our web portal. The portal will take online orders and other requests from end users and this is going to be available enterprise wide (WAN) for approx. 19,000 employees. As Oracle license cost is getting too high for this purpose, I'm thinking of using MySQL instead. However, I saw two different versions here (NuSphere vs. MySQL AB) and cannot decide which one is better to use.
Now, my questions are: 1. What would be your recommendation for me to use, what are the advantages / disadvantages of using NuSphere's (or MySQL AB's) products other than the different pricing here? 2. Is it true that Gemini type table from NuSphere is much better than other types (e.g. InnoDB). How about the installation and config themselves, any issues I should know about from each product? We're going to install it on a W2000 server on the same box as the web portal. 3. Is it safe enough to use MySQL v.4.0.1 instead of 3.23.49. How about the MAX 4.0.1., is this better? Although reliability is important this application is not mission critical. Sorry for the many questions, but I'm really new to MySQL and I want to feel comfortable with it before I decide to use this. I'd greatly appreciate any input from all of you.
