Re: Re[2]: [PHP-WIN] MySql pconnect

As expressed in the article, the question is what the database was designed to actually "do". MySQL creates quick connections, responds to SELECT statements as fast as anything can, has a small footprint, and does not require any special fees to use it. And yes, it's open source. For the vast majority of web sites, MySQL is an absolutely perfect fit. But if you are a bank or running a real-time game that requires player data to be saved constantly, for instance, something like Oracle is what you'll need (for now). But most people just don't _need_ transactions. However, MySQL is planning to add support for such things in later versions. You have to keep in mind that MySQL is new compared to Oracle. It makes sense that it has a smaller amount of features. And on an unrelated issue, down with bloatware :) -- Plutarck Should be working on something... ...but forgot what it was. ""Svensson, B.A.T.
