    mySQL and Delphi

    Anyone have any good articles and tutorials on using mySQL databasing with delphi. I believe mySQL may be the fastest most efficient databasing solution; perfect for an mmorpg

    Thanks!

    Please, do yourself a favour and throw away MySql.
    Postgresql is THE open source database.

    Also, this fact about using a RDBMS for a mmorpg was in the docs you read ?
    If you save your data in a proprietary format, the owner of the format owns your data.

    I could give you a nice 100-reason list of why is postgresql better, but that would be unuseful since you can find all them searching with google.

    mySQL and Delphi

    Wheither you choose Postgresql or MySQL, it's mainly personal preferance and the choice of the administrator you are trying to support. However if you are going to go to the lengths of saying this is better than that, it might hlep to actually provide something a bit more constructive.

    I'm sure someone can walse in and tell us all that C is better than Pascal(as inappropreate as that would be, hint hint) but without any substance to that person's claim, it's just an 'Is too, is not' argument waiting to happen.

    In short, Play nice!

    I didn't say postgresql wasn't better than MySQL, I'm just saying it's not THE open source database.

    Where's a mod when you need one

    Guys please, all this is way off topic and in no way what the origional poster asked. How would you feel if you asked an opengl question and the next 10 posts are all about how good or better directx is.

    Like WILL said keep it nice and stay on topic.
