I agree. I've found MS SQL (and MS Access databases) to be extremely fast when well optimised, even with massive databases. As you can interface with them using ODBC I prefer to use MS database backends when my clients already have them installed alongside PHP for Win32.

I found MySQL to be as fast in most cases, however in databases with millions of records, MySQL started slowing down before the MS SQL did. As for PHP being slower to program, I disagree. Its about the same, and in some cases, PHP might have a few more shortcuts. Maybe they're using some visual editors to speed them up? -Dan Joseph > -----Original Message----- > From: Mike R [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, November 17, 2003 11:07 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [PHP] Microsoft .NET arguement > > > > I have someone here at my desk arguing that Microsoft's .NET is > better than > PHP - faster to process, easier and quicker to program, etc. > > They also (claim) that Microsoft's SQL is much faster and such vs. MySQL. > > Any comments to help me defend PHP or to educate me? > > :) > > -Mike > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php If you are not the intended recipient of this e-mail, please preserve the confidentiality of it and advise the sender immediately of any error in transmission.
