    Resolved [RESOLVED] Differents Between MY-SQL and MS-SQL

    I wish to learn PHP with MY-SQL. So I have downloaded PHP saver application from website. Because it was a medium size (9MB) file for my low speed Internet connection.
    But I couldn't download MY-SQL from web site. Because it was a very big one (more than 40MB).
    So I have been trying to buy it from a shop.
    Unfortunately I couldn't able find MY-SQL on shop. But I have seen a CD with the name of "Microsoft SQL Saver 2005(MS-SQL)". But I don't know more about that.
    Is it different from MY-SQL?

    They are vaguely similar, but as they are different products from different companies, what works in one doesn't always work in the other.

    If you only have MySQL available with your web host, you should not use SQL Server. Instead, get MySQL somehow (perhaps get a friend or an Internet Cafe to download it for you).

    Even better:

    Firebird — 4 MB


    Both are relational database management systems that can be used with PHP.


    I recommend using the PDO extension as your data access library. This makes it easy to switch between MS SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, or a bunch of other supported DBMSs.

    Re: Differents Between MY-SQL and MS-SQL

    Thanks all! For your replies and links
    If you only have MySQL available with your web host
    Can I check availability of web host with out contacting administrators of saver?
    Because, I don’t have any contact details about administrator of my web host.

    Any way I think firebird will solve my trouble for temporary.

    Re: Differents Between MY-SQL and MS-SQL

    What your web host provides/supports should be clear from their site (usually on the home page).

    Re: Differents Between MY-SQL and MS-SQL

    Or at the very least, the control panel...
    Who's the host? Maybe some one here has the same host & would know if you have mySQL.

    Make a phpinfo file and see what extensions are installed. Anything you need to access a database must be listed here.
