Best Database Server for PHP

Which database server is the best for use with PHP on windows?

 

I can't say exactly but I prefer MySQL with PHP on any platform.

Any works if you know what you're doing. Hell, one of my major projects at university was to get php working smoothly with Oracle.

However, for just your usual run-of-the-mill website: MySQL or Postgres.

 

of course that's MySQL

 

MySQL is the best.

 

mysql because its simple, well supported and if you know what you're doing, its secure.

 

MySQL is not "the best". There is no "best" database. It is simply the most popular.

 

I wouldn't recommend PHP/MySQL on Windows. Use PHP/MySQL/Apache on Linux/Unix platforms and ASP.NET/SQL Server/IIS on Windows platforms.

 

MySQL is not the best. Is the easiest to use ... but as database is not worthing. If you are just starting with SQL then I gladly recommend you MySQL. If you write some critical applications you should consider Ingres or Postgres (are also free).

I always use MySQL

 

definitely Mysql

 

Yup, mySQL for sure

 

well it depends how big is your database. if you have only 10-20k rows you can use mysql if you have a very large database over 1-2 milions rows I recomend oracle but it's also depending what type of queries do you run. Also if you have large database you can use mysql 5.1 and use the new partition tool. it helps me a lot

 

MySQL or SQLite, both are good with windows.

 

MYSQL server is the best with PHP. They are like twins and provides better environments for each other.

 

i use mysql ,because its easy to use

 

well, it depends. if you are planning to have a large database, MySQL can be a problem. for comparatively smaller database, mysql is the best and its free.

 

The best are mysql and postgresql, mysql is more populare but postgre is better.

 

MySQL all the way, unless you are doing something critical like banking app. IN that case, obviously oracle.
