Re: [PHP3] MySQL or Informix??? From: Murray Shields (murray <email protected>)

>1) Which is better, MySQL or Informix? Cost is not the issue.

Don't forget that with Informix you need a special license for the web, so
the cost is big $$$.

Informix is a great database, but we have found that MySQL is very stable,
fast and reliable. We have not had a "MySQL incident" of any kind in over a
year of use on multiple servers, and we moved to it (in part) because of the
above licensing issue (we already own some Informix licenses for other
development).

The only performance issues that we have had have been solely due to poorly
written queries (I'm the guilty one), which have since been corrected.
