I have an open question for the FarCry community as a newbie setting up his first FarCry environment which will (hopefully) eventually see production use... Our platform is Windows 2003, which is a choice beyond the scope of my role. Pretty much everything that runs on our web server, however, is left up to me (though our IT guys seem to feel much more comfortable with IIS than Apache, just because they're all Microsoft shop type guys). So, given an 2003/IIS6 platform to build on, and presuming CFMX 7.0.2 (and hopefully later Scorpio), what database would an experienced FarCry developer pick and why? This machine is multiprocessor and reasonably beefy, and will be a standalone web stack and not have other responsibilities. I am tempted to say MySQL just because personally I'm very experienced with it, and obviously the low cost is attractive. Similarly low cost however is Microsoft SQL Server Express, which I'm currently moving our legacy web site to (from Access, eww). Budget to purchase a more expensive RDBMS is also within my reach, but I haven't investigated any with much vigor because we are fairly low traffic (2-3 pages a second at absolute peak loads). Since this community seems so great about support, I'd like to go with a DB that lots of other FarCry users (and perhaps developers) prefer so that when I have issues there will be a good chance someone else knows the solution... Thanks in advance for any sage advice! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/database-recommendation--tf2012255s621.html#a5530138 Sent from the FarCry - User forum at Nabble.com. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "farcry-user" group.
