It's a good idea for PHP to support as many 3rd party products (database or other) as possible. It's also a good idea to educate those who believe MySQL and PostgreSQL are not good for the enteprise. Remember this: .org is run on a PostgreSQL database (http://cw.idg.com.au/idg2.nsf/All/2ADD84E6EBCEADE9CA256CB30075FA01!OpenDocu ment) MySQL Users include Inktomi, NASA, U.S. Census Bureau, Google, Xerox, Yahoo!... The list is long and large..

Microsoft is politically pushing .NET bigtime in the States, and along with it comes MS SQL Server. IF I was not able to get ODBTP to work, PHP would have been canned. If PHP does not take MS SQL serious, then others will not take PHP serious. -- bob On Tue, 22 Apr 2003, heilo wrote: > Hi! > > Yes, this really would be scary :) - no i was just exagurating; in fact i > use mysql/postgres - but i know enough people who are bound to > windows-systems telling me their (partly incredible) stories all the time... > > So i thought it would be great if there was a better support for those dbs > too? > -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
