Temat: [PHP-DB] ? interbase ?
> 1.> Can interbase be installed and run on every Unix-type (BSD)?
> I've taken a look on the borland site but they only speak of Linux and
> windows.
Official Borland builds run only on Win32 and Linux. There are several other
platforms supported by Firebird Project (firebird.sourceforge.net).
> 3.> Is it possible to run MySQL and Interbase on the same server?
Yes, they use different ports (MySQL 3360, IB 3050).
> 5.> Does PHP have the same capabilities for Interbase as for MySQL?
Bit less, but Interbase has bit more capabilities than MySQL.
> 6.> How difficult is it to install a binary (not found on Borland site) or
> to compile it from source for a BSD-server?
You can find binaries at firebird.sourceforge.net and www.ibphoenix.com.
> 9.> Why would anyone choose Interbase when they can use MySQL on the same
> server?
IB is best used when you don't want separate data accessible from www and
your corporate data or your site data will be often updated concurrently by
many users.
