Question about database selection

[seahorse123]

Hi,

I am in the process of deciding the database and application language.
We have exising MS SQL server running on windows OS, to store data, right now I need to build another seperate system for intranet use, as I am more familiar with PHP+Mysql, I want to use php, now if I use PHP+MS SQL, is this a good combination? how about the performance? I know for SQL server, it's more popular to use ASP or Coldfusion.

If I use PHP+Mysql on windows OS, will it create difficulties later to transfer data from existing SQL server to Mysql?

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

There are always migration problems going from MySQL to MS SQL and back. It's best to pick a platform and stick with it.

Performance with PHP & MS SQL will be fine. SQL Server doesn't care what is connecting to it.
