[PHP] How important is your Express or Web Edition database? Please weigh in--
Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey, or who posted to the thread! To cover some of the responses: Yes, web-edition is a reduced-functionality version. Typically they're capped at 4GB, a la MSSQL Express Edition. Our (Sybase) Web-Edition has no volume restriction, but access is limited to web fronts. The SQL Anywhere engineering team has solved the offline/synching issue for local-store db's, such that you can run your php locally, and provision/sync when connected. It's likely that we'll deliver this through the Web Edition, thus my queries. Ash - I got the feedback, thanks!

[PHP] How important is your Express or Web Edition database? Please weigh in--
Hello All: I'm trying to see how Web Edition databases are being used in your company for PHP-driven web-apps. Our strategy team thought that free and community editions would be dominant, but we interviewed Zend Framework developers using Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and it looks like--surprise--that each vendors' market share is about the same as in the broad commercial market. We think this means that you--the PHP developer community--aren't actually using the lightweight Web/Express Edition for your corporate web-app deployment, and instead are building out on the licenses for databases your company is already running. Is the Express/Community/Web Edition important for you at work? Is it a critical sandboxing step for you? Do you run it live for internal applications? Answering these 10 multiple choice questions--should take about 90 seconds--will help us understand what databases you need in your professional life, and how to deliver them to you. Happy cooking, and thanks! http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Jro0rkoIGJKuQNpfWZV_2bBQ_3d_3d -- Stan Stadelman (925) 336-6473 s...@berkeley.edu

Put it on a site that doesn't require blindly enabling JavaScript and I might be able to help. On the other hand, I had never heard of that product, so we're probably not using it. We do currently support Sybase ASA, Oracle, PosgreSQL and SQL Server. Bob McConnell -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
