Re: php with mysql or interbase?

I prefer Interbase just because I don't like the way mySQL handles user authentication. It's rock solid and runs plenty fast. I use IBConsole or QuickDesk to do simple table definition and ERwin for complex projects. Some complex stuff requires generating a script and then running the script from isql.exe.
