Re: [PHP-DB] mySQL vs pgSQL | php vs others
I have been using Mysql for a long time, but I have a benchmark Q. Is pgsql , better ? faster ? more reliable than mysql ? any comment ? I've only ever used Interbase and now Firebird. Latest release is due any day and is FAST. Some people say that php is not for a very big enterprise, banking , application !! they said that java or even .NET is better ... I m against that but what do you all think ? Firebird + PHP work quite happily and will cope with Gigabytes of data. I hate those banking sites that you can not access because 'you don't have Microsoft VM' ( AlianceLeicester Commercial ! ) while other sites work fine without needing any downloads ( AlianceLeicester Personal ) Why waste time re-inventing the wheel - use what you are used to :) -- Lester Caine - L.S.Caine Electronic Services -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Maybe not faster in FTS, but surely MORE reliable!!! any comment ? Some people say that php is not for a very big enterprise, banking , application !! they said that java or even .NET is better ... I m against that but what do you all think ? I'm not that sure. But one thing I am sure of is that I woud never put a bank account aplication using MySQL! And why is that? MySQL is as secure as the application that accesses it. We use it extensively for sensitive data, and it crunches numbers just fine. It ranks up with Oracle in speed, lacking some features, which will be available soon, such as stored procedures and triggers, and sub-selects which are very soon to be available. Think .NET, think swiss cheese! Think Java, think long load times, think PHP, think quick SSI and security as long as you pass it through ssl -- 16:22:01 up 33 days, 8:04, 1 user, load average: 0.26, 0.37, 0.38 - Martín Marqués |[EMAIL PROTECTED] Programador, Administrador, DBA | Centro de Telematica Universidad Nacional del Litoral - -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Yeah, banking is too serious a business in Argentina, as everybody knows, to entrust to MySQL.
