Choosing a SQL database for Mono

Posted by btr Sun, 04 Jul 2004 01:57:53 GMT

I have got Mono ASP.NET working on Apache 2. Now I need to pick up a SQL database for some of the applications I need to run or develop. I’m running MoveableType which supports both MySQL and PostGresSQL. I also run PhpBB, which runs on Postgres currently. I would just need to pick one of them.

I’m using a reference for comparison.

Based on a two mintues of browsing the comparisons, I picked Postgres SQL as my database engine for Linux/Mono.

I installed Postgres a few years ago, but almost forgot everything about it. Here’s the site I’m checking on documentation.

Trying latest Mono ...

Posted by btr Sun, 27 Jun 2004 03:27:51 GMT

I'm working on installing Mono again. This time, I will install Red Hat 9.0 on a Virtual PC and then install Mono RedHat 9 RPMs directly. My goal is to test ASP.NET on Mono to get a feel for its performance compared to Windows .NET. On a Virtual PC, you can install any kind of OS on a Windows box. It's pretty cool to test any new systems before installing them in a production box. VPC does not support shared folder addition on Linux, so I have to set up Samba file share from the RH9 as file drop folder.
