phpBB Database Engine choice?

[inkedgod]

Hi,

From what the installation manual says, phpBB can run on:

MYSQL
MYSQLi
MSSQL Server
Firebird NOSQL
PostgreSQL
Oracle Database
SQLite

Can anyone elaborate on the performance of each database in regards to phpBB, users, bandwidth and any other relevant factors... n regards to phpBB specifically of course?

I also want to know the installation process of forum setup on my domain Techknow Heights - http://www.tkhts.com

No, that's wrong. The manual says this.

performance of each database

Database management systems all have their advantages and disadvantages and you have to make your own choice. Topics which have discussed different DBMSs:

• Most preferred DBMS used for phpBB (which database type?)
• Which database is "best"?
• mySQL database system.
• MSSQL Support?
• postgresql vs mysql
• SQLite vs MYSQL

The first topic shows that MySQL is used by the majority of phpBB installations.
