To MySQL or Not SQL

[Stephen Barncard]

I'd get a copy of the SQL Pocket Guide, via Oreilly press.
They might even list out the differences at the  www.oreilly.com site.

However, to answer the question, I feel MySQL is very adequate, even 
robust, for most of the Rev applications I see discussed here. And 
with the aforementioned libraries, fairly simple, almost fun to 
implement. Having not one but two competing local SQL server 
products, Rev rocks again.

Not having to create my own data storage and retrieval scheme is 
wonderful and I can move on to 'business logic' and interface and 
getting the app out the door.
