Hi,
We are developing a web application using PHP/Mysql. It isn't e-commerce, but it would certainly be handy if the data didn't get lost accidentally. I have just been reading in various places that if the data's important we shouldn't be using anything but Oracle or maybe Postgre at a pinch.
Is this true?
Can anything be done to keep the Mysql data uncorrupted in case of power outage or crash?
How different is Postgre to Mysql? Our application keeps all the database stuff separate so would it be wise and/or easy to switch to Postgre asap?
cheers Simon B
