Finally Gave Up on MySQL
-
I've been trying for two weeks to get MySQL (5.0) and PHP (5.12) to play together on a 2003 Server box, and last night I gave up. I installed Oracle 10g EX, and i'm in a much better mnood about the whole thing.

Because Oracle is a much better DB than anything MS might be able to buy from someone else (unless, of course, if they bought Oracle, but then we'd be subjected to more of that "Microsoft Genuine Advantage" crap)... :)

Lucky you, I finally gave up on Oracle years ago. Never send a human to do a machine's job Agent Smith

I'm not trying to bait you, but why? I gave up on Oracle after 7, as they were getting really bloated and embracing Java too much. Marc Pensieve Some people believe what the bible says. Literally. At least [with Wikipedia] you have the chance to correct the wiki -- Jörgen Sigvardsson

A back-end is a back-end (just ask J-Lo). If I can use it from PHP and .NET, it's all good.

Just asked. :-) Recently someone told me that, for anything other than amateur use, stuff like postgres and mysql never really worked out well, and that big companies always used oracle or sql server. Regards, Nish

It is so cool and with the Management Studio you should be up and running in no time. If an idiot like myself can create a database and have it running it less than 20 minutes you should be creating and deploying in no time.
Asking someone to define CP is like asking someone to define art. To define it is to miss its true nature.

Also how fast is compared to MS SQL 2005 and do I need to change the way I perform queries in C# or ASP.NET 2.0? Al PS Well ... give me all the white papers :-) My eMail control My Blog

Exactly, the bigger the idiot, the less time it takes.

Because I have to be able to support .NET 2.0. Linux/mono doesn't support 2.0 yet, and won't until near the end of this year (or next year).

I can't answer any of those questions, so consider google to be your friend.

Currently working on C++/CLI in Action for Manning Publications.Oracle, has the worst interface(s) from installing right down to using, their version of a window to retreive data, constisted of a UI similar to notepad, absolute farce all the money you pay for a product like that, even MS Access beats Oracle. SQL Server 2005, is good, the management studio has a few bugs, but it's so easy to set up and use. Long live SqlServer!!! :cool: Never send a human to do a machine's job Agent Smith
