REBOL/SQL question
[1/3] from: ryan:christiansen:intellisol at: 19-Mar-2001 9:57
I'm trying to make a decision as to whether or not I need to learn PHP or
if I can continue to use REBOL as a business solution. I also need to
figure out which SQL database I need to learn. Can someone help me answer
the following questions?
Which SQL databases can /Command communicate with?
MS SQL Server?
MySQL?
PostgreSQL?
Is the MySQL scheme for /Core robust enough to begin using as a business
solution?
My preferred solution? Use the MySQL scheme with /Core until /Command is up
to speed.
Thanks.

That depends ... what does the term of "business solution" mean in your
case? You have to use CGI anyway and mySQL doesn't support transactions (it
does, but not too well last I heard) ...

What does it mean - up to speed? With /Command, you could use /library
wrapper Jeff (IIRC) created for accessing mySQL database. System library
calls should be way faster than interpreted mySQL scheme .... just guessing
here of course ..

My needs are relatively simple, like creating an online support area, for
issues tracking. I don't see an e-commerce need in the near future. MySQL
should catch up in transactions locking by the time I need it.

What I mean is I've read recently that the "/Core" in /Command is behind
the latest version of /Core.
