I am currently working with mysql5 for both solutions and repository.
I was using the supplied sybase anywhere before and I have the feeling that was faster. Anyone having an opinion about database speed?
Properly tuned there is very little speed difference between sybase, microsoft, oracle, postgres and mysql.
Any specific reason you are using mysql over ianywhere?
for the current project, there is a php side, so I thought it was easier to have everything under mysql, easier to maintain, backup, etc… and I like msqsl administrator more than sybase central.
I don’t even know if there is a php lib for ianywhere.
I know I could mix both also.
At some stage, I’ll have to decide in between, but so far, I haven’t found any good reason to tilt the balance one side or the other.
Maybe I’ll get more reasons later on, especially when working with mobile devices since sybase has more tools in this area. but so far, I have been very disappointed by the iphone and what you can do on it.
Anyway, one of the goodies of servoy, I can switch later on.
I’ll probably keep mysql as this is standard at most providers (the app I am trying to setup will be public), so simpler for me.
Any other good reason to decide?
