MS Access or MYSQL ?
Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2002 2:50 am
Hi;
I am new to this PHP and want to learn,
but when it comes to database, I have some doubt to choose the right database, appreciate your thought.
I know my way arount MS access, and have build some databases, but don't know anything about MYSQL,
it seems that everybody who works with php uses MYSQL,
I have seen around that you can use MS Access with PHP, but my question is:
1- is there any benefit to use MYSQL with php, over MS Access?
2- is there any problem if you use MS Access with php, any security issue perhaps?
3- Is there any program out there that making designing of database with MYSQL easier, it looks ,that you have to hand write your code and very time consuming, I might be wrong, but your comment on this is appreciated.
Thanks.
