Re: database recommendation?

This is more of a question for farcry-dev so I have cross-replied.


Farcry 3 is supported on mySQL and MS-SQL, and shortly Oracle.

I think after that it is personal preference if the company does not mandate
what RDBMS is used.

Given that fourQ does all the database work for you, you do not need a super
guru DBA - just as long as you can create a new database (and difine a data
source in CF Admin) you will be on your way.

You should probably also know how to back up and restore that database ;-)
