are you all using mysql databases

[pussylover]

Or do some of you use other types?

Wondering if there all databases systems are about the same or if they have any advantages.

i use mysqli it was upgraded years ago

MySQL provides the procedural interface. MySQLi provides both procedural and object-oriented interface. ... MySQLi extension is with enhanced security and improved debugging. Transactions are handled by SQL queries only.

Mysql is the only one I use, it is the most common one I can think of.

My accounts at 5 hosts I have been with all used MySql, so never looked into alternatives, it does what it is supposed to do so why change.

Mysql is what I think of databases.

MariaDB, the mySQL sequel that came about when there were concerns about mySQL not staying open source.

[greatpornlinks]

Here is the best part, they are open source and free to use

[Wm2man]

open source scripts always get more updates and bug fixes, that is a plus.

[24alex]

yes my databases have all been MySQL for ever and no complaints

[DeSexGuide]

They are all in the background and work just as well

MySql came with my server nearly everytime, so i just never gave it two thoughts.

[BrasSmonkey]

i meant deprecated

Note:

Though MySQL extension is deprecated, for backward compatibility it will be available. But do not use if you are starting something new and recommend to migrate the older from mysql to mysqi extension.
