Re: [PHP-DB] Re: interbase or postgres
daddy or chips, daddy or chips apologies to non-uk readers go with postgresql. it's superb. we use at at work and have had nine months service with no unplanned downtime. fast and reliable and great php support - gets my vote every time. now if only i could persuade my company to stop paying micro$oft Steve Jarek Zgoda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message 00a301c12773$1d3ace40$836c4cd5@zgoda">news:00a301c12773$1d3ace40$836c4cd5@zgoda...

Just a few comments - Postgresql has a larger range of data types and built in string functions, Interbase has no text datatype and (I think) like doesnt use an index. The text datatype is present, but is a BLOB subtype (as usually in C world - it's not a text, it's null-terminated string). I don't think you'd do badly using either but I'd lean towards postgresql. It seems to be deveoping at a faster rate than Interbase and probably has the edge performance wise. While Postgres has better future, IB is better now. IB has long way away as a commercial product, being utilized by most critical user (US Army used IB in it's M60TTS and M1 to M1IPM tanks). Anyway, i like IB. It's always the same - under Linux, Solaris, NT, NetWare...
