  • SQL Database shutdown

    When I get this message (see below) is it really that the SQL "server shutdown is in process"

    It seems like it's happening a lot recently...

          MySQL.

          It's about time a site of this size upgrades to a real DB.

            Yeah, got a few of them lately. But not that much more than before though.

              Why not? From what I've read MySQL is of the best things around for forum boards.


              EDIT: I just got one after using "My Threads"

                MySQL is simple and free, and fine for small loads.

                Its performance sucks for large databases, and it lacks some "basic" features like DB views.

                  what DB do you suggest and do you volunteer to do a port of our scripts (vbulletin, vb mods, civgroups, hofs, dir, news, etc) to it?

                    I suggest DB2 for Linux, and I'm forced to recommend you use IBM's consulting arm if you need help porting things.

                    Seriously though, if you're looking for free and open source, PostgreSQL is the obvious choice. It would be unfortunate (and stupid) if all of your scripts used MySQL-specific functions and commands, rather than SQL.

                      Well, php has different commands for accessing different types of databases, so even if the SQL queries are pure SQL there would still be changes needed. Also sometimes serverspecific features might have been taken in use in an optimization phase, since the code is creted to run on MySQL. I don't remeber if I've used any MySQL only functionality in my scripts, but a rule of thumb has been that I've not done it unless it would meen a good optimization compared to default SQL syntax.

                      vBulletin only supports MySQL (at least last time I checked) but that might also only be due to the php access functions.

                        so, is the mysql server (service) really shutting down multiple times a day?

                          All the comparative reviews I read put MySQL and PostgresSQL on the same level. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

                          All MySQL commands are standard SQL AFAIK.

                            Postgres is free and is an awesome database.

                            It never, ever crashes.

                            MySQL isn't in the same league as Postgres.

                            Developers like MySQL because you don't have to really know databases to use it.

                            A database administrator will pick Postgres every single time.
