Hello all. I was wondering if you could help me on this: I'm exploring what Database to use for my web pages. I know some of you are using SQLServer or Oracle but pls think that here money is a problem. I have been reading about MySql and I was wondering how strong it really is in real life. Anyone is using it in busy environments? My requirements are not so hard at this moment about what we need to do with the Database and the Web. In fact I have been using Filemaker Pro 4.0 as an alternative without problems (on NT and MAC) but it is really slow and you don't have a big control with the "programming" language it use and know we need to do something more complicated. What alternatives would you recommend to check? On your real life experience, do you think MySql will be a choice? I have machines running FreeBSD, others with NT 4.0 IIS SP4 and others are Macs running Webten and Webstar. I do not care to program on C or another high level language if necessary. Some friends are using ASP with Microsoft SqlServer but that solution is very expensive for me at this time and I've heard that it isn't a stable solution (no OS war please). Pls think that my business is beginning and money at this money is important but it is important also to give some database enabled solutions to my clients. I really appreciate all your comments. Pls is the question is so stupid , off toppic or anything you consider a waste of your time pls do not waste the bandwith of the list, this is my email: jbiquez@icsmx.com . Thanks in advance for all your comments.
