RE: [mv] Best Database To Use ??

["Christopher Thompson" <ct@arborinternet.com>]

Informix in fully relational, so if your need all of SQLs features then
use it. MySQL, I believe, is faster because it is not fully relational.
GDBM is very easy to work with and very fast for flat file tables up to a
few thousand records. I believe that Minivend uses DBI/DBD for all
database access (Mike can correct me on that).
