Did anyone recommend SQLite yet? It comes with PHP5 but I believe you can get an extension for PHP4 to do it as well. It's basically a super light-weight SQL based database system. Loads all the tables into memory if I remember right, but great for exactly what you're talking about (if I understand SQLite and your requiremrents properly). -TG = = = Original message = = = Hi, I have already asked this question, but I think I wasn't clear enough of my intentions (thanks for all your responses anyway) I was wondering if there is any DBMS, like MySQL, which is (fully) implemented in php. That is a database engine written in PHP. I know this is not the most effecient way, but I'm not planning to use it for heavy weight database-driven-application. I just want a way to store simple data and I thought that SQL would be a nice interface. Since it could be easelly ported to mysql (for which I have to pay my host). Full SQL support is'n needed either. Just some basis queries. Maybe it very ineffecient, but I think basic SQL will be fast enough (with not to many records (say 50)). Who knows maybe I am crazy :-P greetings -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php ___________________________________________________________ Sent by ePrompter, the premier email notification software.
