Mike,
I have done some pretty simple carts using minivend on a
virtual server and have had little to no problems. I have a very big
client wanting a database driven e-commerce site that they wish to take
PUBLIC. They are selling information that before the Internet could not
have been disseminate in this fashion. I thought I would use MySQL and
minivend. But I could do it (with allot more work of course) in PHP3
and MySQL. My question to you is (you being the expert) should I gamble
(only a gamble because I haven't done this size site before) such a big job on
Minivend and MySQL. They will have thousands of products in the
database. One of the deep pockets keeps seeing Oracle commercials and so
he wants that. I don't do Oracle, yet. The machine will have Linux
6.0, latest Apache/PHP3/MySQL, Single PII450, Asus P2B98-S, 256 Mb PC100 RAM,
Enlight Raid w/ 6 4.5Gig SCSI drives. Any input from anyone would be
great!
Also does anyone know of any BIG Name MySQL implementations
that I can show these investors. I went to the MySQL page and was not
impressed with their showoffs. One URL they display as an example is
YAHOOSUCK.COM. Not something I want my investors to see. If you know
what I mean.
Thanks,
George Knerr
