So gaining performance and clustering is reason enough for me. You gave no reasons initially ... and with facilities being added all the time, the reason to change may evaporate before a change is made? Have you looked at the alternatives as well since you seem to have some work to do rather than simply changing the data source? I'm being told I have to switch to MSSQL or Oracle but the customers can't provide justification to do that as yet and since we are only up to a couple of gigabytes of data replicated across machines I am always looking for informed explanations of why a switch is necessary ;) i.e. why one database may be more appropriate than another. The lack of proper comparison information does make it difficult at times :( -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
