l MySQL's performance has been slower than SQLServer and SQLServer Express
during our tests.
l By default, MySQLis configured not to allow any SQLrequest larger than 16 megs.
l In the event where 2 requests are made simultaneously on the same record,
MySQLwill queue one of the requests and execute it once the first one is done. In
extremely rare cases this may cause a timeout on very large requests.
l MSSQL(Microsoft SQLServer)
l All versions of the SQLServer are supported, including all Express versions.
l Database can be in any location, but performance will depend on the speed of the
connection between PlanetPress Production and the SQLserver.
l In the event where 2 requests are made simultaneously on the same record,
SQLServer will drop the most complex request. Resubmitting the PGCfor
processing should resolve this issue. This, however, should happen only rarely.
l When configuring the ODBCconnection, your must use the Microsoft version of the
driver, and not the Native SQLversion of the driver. This is due to a technical
limitation of the native driver that interferes with the PlanetPress Suite database
requests.
