No offense, but I think this is a great forum for this type of discussion. Choosing the right db for your application, is a tough, and extremely important decision. Any experience from the several knowledgeable people on this list, can be a great help. Of course it can be spirited and opionated, but hey, that's ok. I can still respect Rick even though he is completely wrong in this case. ( :-) I say that completely tongue in cheek.)

Anyway, I don't think this is OT.

Also, another thing to consider when choosing your db....

Which is the least troublesome with your app server. I have found this varies. For instance, PHP is HIGHLY tuned to work as perfect as possible with mysql. But I have also found that witango seems to be mostly tested with mysql and mssql also. And I have found witango/ mysql to be a great combo, and even more troublefree than witango/mssql.

Anyway, just my opinion.

Take the Database where you like, and the DB what you like to pay fir or not,
BUT pls. stop this discussion.

Witango work with YOUR preferred DB of YOUR choice (or not). That's all.

A Point and it is over.

As far as ease of use, we purchased Navicat enterprise, that solved any "MS is easier" issues. And one more thing, we never chose mysql, especially for peach, because it was free. Peach, actually told me no before, because it was free. They just couldn't figure out, how anything free, could be any good.

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:
