sounds wonderful - do you know when (roughly) it's gonna be released? I thought that one of the reasons it was so fast was that the DB engine wasn't cluttered with procedures? (which is why it's so damn good for not-so-complicated sites)? i'm no expert at all, but won't mySQL 4 therefore be slower?

I sadly never had my hands on PostgreSQL yet. Again, it all comes down to make the optimal site for the job, not the hardest technological. To revert a saying, why jump the fence where it is the highest ? (thereby not saying we gotta jump where it is lowest, but where it is appropriate to the task). So, with experience and knowledge from major sites running daily thousands of sessions and millions of pageviews I know mySQL is capable of the trick, and with the mySQL 4 coming out, I for one is awaiting it with anticipation. Especially the "stored procedures" which totally would eliminate my need for Microsoft SQL Server. / Lars > -----Original Message----- > From: matt stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 15. november 2001 20:45 > To: 'søren eriksen'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP > > > The main reasons are possibly later on its drawbacks - basically, its main > attraction is the ease of use, as it's so simple! > MySQL and PHP fit together so well and for people just learning scripting > with databases, there's not much that's as easy to pick up quickly and > produce basic database driven websites with. > Obviously due to this, it's actually got no massive depth in > terms of stored > procedures (you can't), and won't be as effective or useful for running > massive, complex sites that attract millions of visitors > (something like SQL > server would probably be better) but for most websites, it's free, it's > easy, and it does the job! > > -----Original Message----- > From: søren eriksen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 15 November 2001 20:34 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP-DB] Why use MySQL with PHP > > > Hi everybody > I'm writing a synopsis about PHP and mySQL. > I'm hoping someone can help me, and tell me why > the combination og PHP and MySQL is so common. > What makes MySQL such a good choice when using PHP? > What seperates MySQL from others dbms? > -Søren Eriksen- > > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > --- > Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.295 / Virus Database: 159 - Release Date: 01/11/01 > > > --- > Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.295 / Virus Database: 159 - Release Date: 01/11/01 > > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
