well, sql is very easy to learn and understand and it is quite powerful, I think you can just go with mysql which is very easy using with php.

does mysql has some sort of data pump? like in interbase? it uses data pump to backup or to migrate from another database to interbase.. Because i need to get the table and datas from a foxpro db

I believe so. You should really try MySQL.

you can export and import the mysql database in different ways, I recommend using phpmyadmin to do things like that.

I agree, I think MySQL is the most popular and the most easy to use. Almost all webhosts offer MySQl instead of anyother databases. Personally, I would go and learn it because it is extremly useful when you are making websites with different login places and such.

Hi, I agree with the others that MySQL is the best database. MySQL is actually made so that it can be integrated with web applications using PHP very easily. There is very good support for MySQL in PHP. That is why people always use LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP). Since you need to use foxpro tables, try these following links: A program to export tables to different formats: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Programming/P...ta-Wizard.shtmlHere is another link for different applications to convert from one format to another. There is one for foxpro as well: http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/MIRRORS/ftp.mys...converters.htmlThere are plenty of tutorials on the net for MySQL. If you want a hassle-free installation of a webserver in your windows PC with PHP and MySQL, I would suggest WAMP: www.wampserver.com/en/index.phpI hope these help. One reason why MySQL is so popular is that it can be used in both windows AND linux.

I have never worked with MySQL but I have heard that is very good database. At my workplace I work in SQL Server 2000 and I have found it very easy and powerful also. I have earlier used Oracle also but I think it is not easy to use. The user interface of SQL Server is very good and easy like any other Microsoft product. The Stored Procedures used in it are very helpful in creation of application programs.

MySQL is simple and works very well in conjunction with PHP, or maybe the other way around, but MySQL refers to an sql export as a data dump not a data pump hopefully that was a typo or they refer to normal sql matter with different lingomaking it even more confusing. Learn how to use phpMyAdmin and MySQL has a new program they have developed but I have been using phpMyAdmin for so long that I am not sure that it would compare but I am gonna download and give it a try.

I am always an opensource fan.. I go for MySql!!! It is also the only database that I tried to use. I doesnt really matter for me as long as it is easy as MS Access! hehe.. I dont have a choice anyway since i am using LAMP on my ZenWalk Linux Box and I use XAMPP on my Windows box.

I agree to the majority: currently, mysql is the best database. for beginners as for advanced users.. because it can be used with myphpadmin(very easily tool).. well as dandare I am a fan of mySQL dbs... i've used another dbs, but I always found something that did not please me.. like Access db that u can take the file(.mdb) just knowing your name and location..yes, it haves fix but i cant operate with this kinda of dbs... well this is something particular hehe.. if u want to see a simple example of using MySQL dbs.. look my post of a Login System herecya

For me, it's MySQL! Why? Well there is a lot of reasons... Here are some of the good reasons: 1. Easy to use and user friendly ! 2. Its free! 3. Open source! Meaning you can modify with what you like or how you like it to work! Amazing right?!  4. its a community based Program! 5. There are a lot of guides around that will help you fix your problem if you're in trouble! 6. Fast! Incredibly fast! And here's a few bad reasons why not choose MySQL: 1. Because its open source , a lot of good programmers out there can easily modify it and use it to do such malicious acts! 2. There are ISP who block port 3306 w/c is the default port of MySQL!

any database should be fine as long as there's a support for SQL! At the same time, choosing the right database for your application matters a lot. MySQL for web applications is one of the best choice. If one is working under .NET platform, SQL Server is recommended. So it's totally with the developer what he choose to. I've been using MySQL quite long. Now I'm exporting my database to SQL Server, as I found I need an upgrade.
