Re: Interbase or MySQL

Some coworkers and I were having this discussion a few nights ago, and here was what we came up with: -- Interbase, in general, has more features than MySQL. It is a more robust system. Now, is it faster? I haven't seen any conclusive benchmarks. But people who use Interbase love it. -- The PHP world is hooked on MySQL, for better or for worse. If you go with Interbase, you are less likely to find help from the PHP community. -- I develop with MySQL on a RaQ4 and it works fine (though check Cobalt's warranty for more information about telnetting in to your box and installing RPMs. Always try Cobalt packages first.) MySQL should work on a RaQ3 as well. You're asking for trouble if you try to install a new, non-Cobalt-supported version of MySQL on a RaQ2 or lower. Cobalt has an older version of MySQL packaged for the RaQ2.
