You can't interface MySQL with ODBC?

I agree. I've found MS SQL (and MS Access databases) to be extremely fast
when well optimised, even with massive databases. As you can interface with
them using ODBC I prefer to use MS database backends when my clients already
have them installed alongside PHP for Win32.

Hi,
From my experiences, your coworkers are somewhat correct. I found MySQL to be as fast in most cases, however in databases with millions of records, MySQL started slowing down before the MS SQL did.
As for PHP being slower to program, I disagree. Its about the same, and in some cases, PHP might have a few more shortcuts.
Maybe they're using some visual editors to speed them up?

I have someone here at my desk arguing that Microsoft's .NET is better than PHP - faster to process, easier and quicker to program, etc.
They also (claim) that Microsoft's SQL is much faster and such
Any comments to help me defend PHP or to educate me?
