Hi there.
I'm currently in serious research on what database to use for a B2B site
which is expected to hold millions of records. I have in so far considered
two open source databases - Interbase and PostgreSQL. With this in mind, I'm
sending this email to both the PostgreSQL and Interbase mailing lists and
also on PHP's. I would appreciate what ever information you can provide.
Thanks :)
My inquiry:
Please discuss as to your point of view the advantage of PostgreSQL over
Interbase and/or vise versa. I'm considering three (3) important points
1. Speed
2. Data Reliability
3. Portability
Your messages will be greatly appreciated.
