Response to: MySQL

What is the main reasoning for Openbase versus MySQL. I opened minded as to both - just wondering why you recommend it?


Thanks


PS - Instructions 4&5 are the two I did not have a clue how to input thanks.

    (My personal opinion...)

    I've used a variety of databases, including MySQL and OpenBase. I've found OpenBase's support to be exceptional, as well as the administration tools. The company also uses WebObjects for it's online presence, so they know how both WO and OB interact in "real world" scenarios.

    I within the past two years, I have moved a WO project from OpenBase to MySQL and back again. I've found the performance of both to be similar (~50,000 transactions per day). I moved back to OB for two reasons:
    1) I prefer the OB administration tools
    2) OB offers an option to index Word, PDF, etc.

    The beauty of EOF is that I can move my project(s) from one database to another with little effort.
