I'm all for using what works and do not try to avoid MS (as long as it fits the requirements).
However, I found out that MySQL does not work very well under load under Windows 2000. It is considerably slower than a similar configured Linux system. It may be how MySQL AB compiled the Windows binaries (I use the official binaries for both Windows and Linux). I do have one or two Win32 MySQL installations because we did not want to setup a dedicated server. They are use for small things here and there. It all depends on application! :) -will Real-time Chat: irc.freenode.net -> #mysql ( http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/IRC.html ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Defryn, Guy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, December 07, 2003 1:41 PM Subject: Specs for a dedicated MySQL server Hi there, [snip] Also, Is there anyone who uses Windows on a Mysql production server?
