From MSSQL to MySQL or PostgreSQL

[Firecat1970]

Hello,

I have been using MSSQL for a few years. Recently I am looking seriously for some free database platform. Both MySQL and PostgreSQL have a large community, anywhere I can find the comparison?

Cheers!

Thanks. I happened to find a FAQ in Tek-Tips on this issue as well. I will preceed to build a Linux box with PostgreSQL real soon.

What I am trying to do is to replicate what I can do with ASP/MSSQL in a much lower cost environment.

Since PostgreSQL has stored procedure, I am not too worried about Reporting. In ASP/MSSQL, I am using a lot of stored procedures and Crystal Report. In the world of PostgreSQL and PHP, I wonder how I can find a replacement of Crystal Report.

Thanks.
