RE: [PHP-WIN] PHP 4.0.6 Apache 1.3.12 Oracle 8.1.5 OCIPlogon Windows 2000 Server

<reply all - grin> John, might I suggest that if you are converting a database from oracle you may want to consider a database that may more closely matches your previous system. You may be familiar with a Borland InterBase, well they have an open source descendant named 'Firebird'. You can check it out at: http://firebird.sourceforge.net/ And all of the PR material can be found at http://www.interbase.com, anything that InterBase has, Firebird has (and more). I'd suggest you give it a quick run through, it's very easy to set up, and there are several free, quite good gui interfaces. And, to top it all off... PHP 4 has full support of InterBase 6.0: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.ibase.php > -----Original Message----- > From: Asendorf, John [mailto:JAsendorf@lcounty.com] > Sent: December 6, 2001 10:42 > To: Jozsef Szilagyi; php-windows@lists.php.net > Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] PHP 4.0.6 Apache 1.3.12 Oracle 8.1.5 OCIPlogon > Windows 2000 Server > > The main reason is because you're probably NOT getting a persistent > connection with IIS.
