Odp: [PHP-DB] ? interbase ?

Od: "Bart A. Verbeek" <b.a.verbeek@wanadoo.nl> Temat: [PHP-DB] ? interbase ? > 1.> Can interbase be installed and run on every Unix-type (BSD)? > I've taken a look on the borland site but they only speak of Linux and > windows. Official Borland builds run only on Win32 and Linux. There are several other platforms supported by Firebird Project (firebird.sourceforge.net). > 3.> Is it possible to run MySQL and Interbase on the same server? Yes, they use different ports (MySQL 3360, IB 3050). > 5.> Does PHP have the same capabilities for Interbase as for MySQL? Bit less, but Interbase has bit more capabilities than MySQL. > 6.> How difficult is it to install a binary (not found on Borland site) or > to compile it from source for a BSD-server? You can find binaries at firebird.sourceforge.net and www.ibphoenix.com. > 9.> Why would anyone choose Interbase when they can use MySQL on the same > server? IB is best used when you don't want separate data accessible from www and your corporate data or your site data will be often updated concurrently by many users. Cheers Jarek Zgoda
