Hi, I'm wondering if there is any DBMS, like MySQL, which is (fully) implemented
what do you mean by 'fully' - there are lots of DB drivers implemented (as extensions) for php.
in php. This so you don't have to buy a MySQL database.
sqlite might be interesting for you.
I'm currently trying to put something together, but this would be a waste of time if it already exists.
what kind of thing are you trying to put together - I assume your not trying to build a database engine in php???
Does MySQL cost money? I thought it was open source and available at no cost.
true its free, but you can also run a comcercial version which gives you indemnity and support and stuff.... Google for instance are known to run MySQL, companies like that like to have support contracts - at MySQL they are glad to oblige, just unlike some other very fairplaying non-antitrust type businesses they don't force feed you the license fee :-)
