MySQL is much easier to manage than Oracle, IMHO. But if you're dealing with money, it's probably a safer bet to stick with Oracle, though I'm not sure that's going to be true for much longer.
If you're dealing with money... now that is a silly reason. Oracle is no more safe than PostgreSQL, it's called making a good backup. I use PostgreSQL every day for money related transactions in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Oracle is really only necessary if you need to run a HUGE database across multiple servers. Otherwise, it's just a waste of money. --------------------------------- Frank Wiles <frank@wiles.org> http://www.wiles.org ---------------------------------
