Finally Gave Up on MySQL
-
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)... :)

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

What do you use now? Sql Server by any chance? Regards, Nish

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

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.

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.

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

We're talking about 10g EX here, not the whole tomoto, so... Installing? All I had to do was provide a root password and it did the rest. That was one of the simplest installs I've ever done. Interfaces - Well, to be honest, I don't use their interfaces to retrieve data. For every db program I've ever written or worked on (using oracle for the last three years), we didn't use any "interfaces" provided by the db backend. We wrote code that called stored procedures that retrieved the data. To create tables and packages, we use PL/SQL. I've never used SQL Server, so I can't comment on its usability or compare it to Oracle.

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001From my experience, the Oracle installation routine where written in Java and need a degree in rocket science to be able to navigate through the options, this was for Windows NT, are you installing on *nix? I suppose if you get used to doing everything like creating tables using PL/SQL thats fine, but you should try SQL Server even SQL 2000 is a sinch to use.
