MySql tops in database comparison
For web applications, we use MySql for database development. It is an open source software, and is free for download. There are reasons why we choose MySql. Of course, an obvious reason is that the software is free.
Recent testing also indicates that MySql beats other commercial databases in a lab test.
If your company site is hosted on a Windows Server, we will have to switch to using Ms Access, which our software engineers are familiar too.
