Converting MySQL database to Firebird (Part1:From Lamp to Flaps)
I have a heavy-used website powered by LAMP stack (CentOS Linux, Apache 2, MySQL and PHP). It started on a shared hosting so I had to use MySQL. Year and a half later, I switched shared, virtual hosting and not run it on a dedicated server. I decided to try Firebird to see how it performs and also how it compares to MySQL in RAM usage, disk usage, etc.
