Hi I'm currently using PHP 4 on Solaris on a front end server with MySQL on Solaris as a db server. Since I'm having weird problems with MySQL (3.23.41) on very active tables (a 700,000 records table with lots or reads and writes) . I want to work with MSSQL Server 2000 instead of MySQL, does anyone have experience with working with such a combination? PHP4 on Solaris as front and Win2K with MSSQL Server 2000 as db? Sincerely

We use freetds under linux to connect to NT4/SQL7 on the backend. My understanding is that the freetds project *will* work on Sun, and that if you are using basic column type, it'll work with SQL2000. freetds.org - their FAQ may have some questions on SQL2000, but I haven't checked it in awhile. There weren't too many protocol changes between 7 and 2000 (from what I hear) so the basic stuff should work the same. What types of 'weird problems' are you having? --------------------------------- michael kimsal http://www.tapinternet.com/php/ php training courses 734-480-9961
