Greetings. Can anyone comment on the stability of MySQL on Win32?
Unfortunately I may have to use IIS for a project and am just wandering if I can expect the same sort of stability and performance using MySQL (and PHP) on a Windows Server.
Paul,
Someone did a benchmark of MySQL running on Linux vs Window and Windows was about 20%-25% slower. That's probably not enough of a difference to make a diehard Windows user learn Linux. :) The only other concern is Win2k/NT servers should be rebooted at least once a month otherwise they tend to get unreliable whereas Linux can stay up for a year or more. You can of course run Apache on Win2k machines and requires less patching (less rebooting).
