theagent Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hello, I'm not sure what I should be using for databasing. I've been developing under MySQL, but I've read it isn't reliable under high-traffic. Is this true? Right now my main concern is coding -- I don't want to code my entire application under MySQL, only to switch over to a different databasing environment to accommodate for high-traffic. Help is appreciated, thanks. PS: Although I'm understanding the coding aspect of development, I hardly know anything when it comes to servers and server maintenance. What do you recommend that I read? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theagent Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Do you mean "High Performance MySQL"? http://www.amazon.com/High-Performance-MySQL-Optimization-Replication/dp/0596101716/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1224104075&sr=8-1 Can MySQL be good for really high traffic stuff? I like MySQL, but I don't want to find this out the hard way. Also, I really need to understand how to configure, run, and maintain servers. Do you know a good book on that? Thanks.
