Stefan,
Well put. I think that there is enough research out there supporting
the speed and capabilities of both engines to argue forever. Simply
put though, MySQL is in use in enough high-traffic and mission
critical enterprise installations that any blanket statements should
be taken with a grain of salt. Rick - I don't mean to take away from
your own research - we all have to rely in many cases on our own
perceptions and experiences. But we should all try to refrain from
making statements that can so easily undermine what others in the
community are doing. I would think that if Robert Garcia were to
weigh in on this he could spell out a very convincing case for MySQL
given the tremendous load his projects put it under on a daily basis.
Of course, I use SQL Server (2000 and 2005) as well as MySQL daily,
and the ease of management and use with SQL Server is amazing, so I
tend to lean towards SQL Server simply because I have it - but were I
faced with having to purchase the licenses myself, I'm not sure I'd
feel compelled to do so.
Cheers everyone-
Jason

Hi Rick,
Those arguments are a far cry from "yech". My point was just that
Mysql is a reasonable
database and it's free. It doesn't deserve that kind of negative
comment, which indirectly
casts aspersions on With. Obviously, their site doesn't need a
super high performance
database, so a free one is just fine.

Hi Stefan,
I won’t get into a debate, but on Windows in a high-volume
production environment Microsoft SQL server is the fastest hands-
down, followed by Pervasive SQL a close second.
I’ve never bench-marked MSSQL on Windows vs. MYSQL on Linux, but
the research I have done stated that MSSQL is faster.
Also, I’ve done lots of work with MYSQL and in an environment
where the traffic is high, MSSQL doesn’t perform well. Again, my
experience has been on Windows.

What is "yech" about Mysql? Since version 4 it has been a quite
usable database.

This is a bit off topic. I'm looking for a hosting service for
my personal use. No, not business related. *laughs* If any of you
offer site hosting and Witango app hosting (and perhaps database
support as well) would you please send me some information
pertaining to costs? Yes, I did try the Witango e-mail search
looking for Hosting in the message title and received the
following error message:
