[PHP3] Re: Oracle and php From: Alex Turner (musicmaker <email protected>)
Date: 05/07/00

I don't know too much about the php part as yet, although I'm working on
it, but with regard to Oracle, we use it because it's a solid as a rock.
Our database machines haven't had unscheduled downtime in over three
years. We run Oracle 8.0.5 on Sun Sparc boxes, and it's fast as greased
lightining. I know in one test I ran with a simple php script access a
cursor I got well over 4000 rows/second with six simultaneous clients to
the webserver... I think I maxed out the local network speed at that point
because we are running in test and it's only a 10MB switch. The word is
that at the end of the day, Oracle has the best transaction rate when
configured properly, and is the most stable of all commercial/non
commercial dbs. Only thing is it comes with a hefty price tag. I would
like to know how PostgreSQL compares, I use it at home for some smaller
stuff that I'm working on, but so far I've not had any stability issues,
although I don't know how fast it is really.
