Clyde: I don't know what percentage of MySQL users are running on Windows servers, but I suspect it is higher than you might think. IMHO, you would also find a number of situations where MySQL is being used on Win32 platforms for development, while production databases are being served up on Linux, BSD, Unix, Solaris, etc.
In our case, we have a cadre of about 90 clients running MySQL. At last count, 85 of them were running on Win32 servers, 4 on Linux, and 1 on True64 Unix. Internally, we develop on Linux, test on Windows, and give customers the option of server platforms when they install. At one time, we offered customers their choice of RDBMS (M$ SQL Server 7/2000 or MySQL). A little more than two years ago, we stopped offering the M$ servers, and have focused all of our efforts on developing our applications to use MySQL. We have never looked back!

Install went like a dream and I was up and running within a few minutes. I have run several tests of my own using Delphi and Zeos Data base controls - again all this works perfectly. ( I get nervous when things work this well !) I have been reading the list and come to the conclusion that MySql is used very much in a Linux/Unix web environment. I am looking at converting over our company legacy systems (debtors, creditors, assets, etc) to MySql. (we are a small company that would only have a maximum of 40 users logged on to the data base) Though everything I have tried works fine - this is only in a test environment and not a production one. Speed and Usability are a given, my only concern now is stability. So my questions basically are: 1. Am I on the wrong track here using MySql/Windows for these types of applications. 2. Are there other users out there with similar usage 3. Do windows users find MySql stable - Good or bad comments here please Perhaps this should be another thread, but would anyone have some indication as to what % of MySql installations are Windows based - my gut felling is that it would be lucky to be 5% but I would sure like to know if someone has some statistical data on this.
