Re: MySQL vs. MaxDB

2003-12-06 Thread David Griffiths 
I looked at SAP about 6 months ago. I don't know what MySQL has done with
SAP since they took it over, but I found SAP to have limited (and poor)
documentation, was difficult to setup, was a source-code nightmare (it's
written in more than one language, and uses a pre-compiler to unify the
source-base before compiling), etc. I found SAP to be inpenetrable, and I'm
an Oracle DBA (Oracle itself is often considered overly complex).

I would suggest PostgresQL before SAP if you want the triggers, views, and
stored procedures (assuming you don't want to pay for Oracle).

David.

 from http://www.mysql.com/press/release_2003_35.html

 The MySQL database is a high performance relational database management
 system that is noted for its speed, stability and ease of use, while MaxDB
 is certified for SAP applications and includes features such as stored
 procedures, triggers and views, for the most demanding enterprise use.

 I know, it's a lazy response. I haven't noticed any performance comparison
 artiles.

 Subject: MySQL vs. MaxDB


  Hola,
 
  I was wondering if anyone could point me to any articles or URLs that
 could
  give me an idea of the differences between MaxDB and MySQL, specifically
 if
  one were to use MaxDB instead of MySQL, what disadvantages would come
with
 the
  advantages (which to me are basically some of the features MySQL doesnt
 have
  yet.) ??
 
  Off the top of my head, I assume MySQL would be faster than MaxDB for
web-
  based applications/sites, but thats just an assumption I'd like to find
 some
  facts.
 
  Thanks,
