Hello.
I am getting started with PHP 4/5. I am coming from a Delphi background. I find PHP straightforward so far. The books I have are guiding me via MySQL, but my client is running MSSQL. I will be developing a few learning apps along the way. I was asked if MYSQL is stable enought to run a million dollar business on. The app will be the center of an ASP hosted system. Client likes MS SQL but realizes that the bigger he gets the more $$ Microsoft gets. Once I get the basics of PHP and MYSQL down I plan on looking at PostgreSQL and Firebird with PHP. I use Firebird with all my Delphi apps and love it, but I here the PG has solid features including good replication.
I am interested in any opinions, links and/or comments on picking the right database.
The finall app to be buillt will support 100 to 2,000 simultaneous users and be scalled across multiple web servers with one database server, though client may partition DB to support different users i.e. East Coast on one set of servers, West coast on second set of servers or perhaps use replication to support reporting and lookups on on server and main input/updates on secondary server (will require real-time replication services).
My first app will be a simple app for a package courier , a demo app just to learn and get the hang of session management, user security etc.... as well as proper coding style to allow the "WEb Designer" to make it look pretty. I have come across SMarty template processor and hope to have time to include that in my rewrite of the "Courrier" system. Once I get started, I will post link to my code in case there are others in the same situation as me... learning by doing.
Thanks for reading my ramblings.

Perhaps you database guru able to suggest what would be a good choice for
opensource database platform to use to develop projects.
At the moment the project is small/medium, but it will grow in size both
data, users, and number of transactions. I'm using MySQL for right now but
it lack of trigger, stored procedures, etc ... it sometimes slows the
project.
Is PostgreSQL any better/worse? Or is that any other choice beside the two?...

Hi,
I've only got a couple years experience developing for Access but have
recently been experimenting with HTML/javascript for gui and
client-side scripting, mysql for database and php for server-side
scripting. I've been running it all on the development machine until
the application I'm building is advanced enough to start
optimising/testing with network lag in mind. So it's no slower, and in
some ways at least it seems faster.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
