Re: php with mysql or interbase?

Thanks, but instead of sifting through all the individual messages I wanted to see if there were any comments that summarize the whole thing. If there are not my conclusion is that there is more free documentation and support for mysql than interbase. I even found a new book at Barnes and Noble titled: MySQL/PHP Database Applications. The documentation for interbase is not so well supported probably because it is more new to open source. Joel At 03:18 PM 4/17/01 -0400, you wrote:

[In a deadpan voice...] Oh, what a fascinating twist. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-db is where this particular list is archived. That's where you can learn a lot about the individual programs, and you may find out little bits of wisdom like: each database has strengths and weaknesses, you really should pick the platform based upon your needs, even the best database will not help you if you start with a poorly designed schema.

So which is better to use with php?
