We deploy on Solaris and use Oracle as the database. I would like to start experimenting with php on my FreeBSD system at home, and would like to have a robust database as well. (currently have the hardware set up to run oracle on the freebsd box - lots of memory and 4 harddrives). So, this is an entirely new area for me. Are there any tips on the database? I'm thinking postgresql but am open to suggestions. Any good websites and/or books for installing and running the database? Any suggestions on books and/or websites for php? Related to this, I would like to run a message board that uses php and the database that I set up. Are there any free message boards that run off of this combination? thanks, robert To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
