MySQL is a joke that just doesn't want to disappear - sadly. If you want reliable, easy to maintain and open-source, then go for Firebird. PostgreSQL is also a good choice, but takes a bit more effort to tune before it gives good performance. >From the last time I researched this, this was my findings about MySQL: https://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,20826.0.html In summary: It simply disregards your data.

Re: [MSEide-MSEgui-talk] FireBird or MySql ?
Hi Fred, In my humble opinion, that score is not so relevant. MySQL still has a large usage as database server for web sites. If you ask the pascal programmers, you might get a different score. License wise, I think Firebird and PostgreSQL are the safest bets for commercial applications. At least, PostgreSQL covers anything a corporate client might need. Firebird remains for medium applications and SQLite for individual and small applications.

Hello Funlw65. Thanks for the infos. Indeed there is lot of positive advice about FireBird and less for MySQL. But following DB-Engines Ranking from: https://db-engines.com/en/ranking MySql = 2th (Oracle is first) and FireBird is only 31 th.

Re: [MSEide-MSEgui-talk] FireBird or MySql ?
Forget about mysql. Firebird 3.0 is at least, the continuation of an excellent Borland SQL database. Anyway, as an info for you, Microsoft SQL and PostgreSQL share the same initial project/sources. Obviously, the projects then evolved separately. So, from my point of view, I chose both PostgreSQL and Firebird.

[MSEide-MSEgui-talk] FireBird or MySql ?
Hello. I re-jumped (thanks to Med) into databases. Long ago I was using Microsoft SQL server or Borland-Delphi BDE. Now, as Open-Source converted, I prefer to use something Open-Source. But it seems to be a kind of war for this, like the "Mac vs Windows" war. Some people say MySQL is a joke, Firebird is much better, others say the opposite. What is your advice about this? Thanks.
