Re: [GENERAL] For data based web site, which RDBMS is better & why ?

Hello,

I have deployed Postgres on Linux for such an application (Real estate). I have
a java app for data input and PHP interfaces for searching and all other sorts
of things. Its been running for a year now. No complaints with speed, I run
linux in text mode so it is very lightly loaded. To boot I also provide mail,
ldap and web services to the office as well as common directories with samba.

The good thing that as soon as my clients want to run some pages on the web
most of the work will be already done.

Regards

Lincoln
