Re: Database Question!

Hi, PHP is the smallest part of your solution. For such a high volume database your primary concern should be to select an application organise the data in the most efficient way, and platform to host it on. Oracle, Sysbase and Informix are 3 of the top databases which provide all the facilities you will need. They all run on Unix and PHP works with all of them. If you write your SQL, triggers, stored procedures and functions properly then PHP will only have a small part to play, ie just displaying the results. PHP can couple very well.
