Hello,

The documentation page:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/installation/the_setup_wizard

Says the following:
"
Note that if the MySQLi extension is enabled in PHP, the "MySQL Improved" option will be available on the list. If you are going to use a MySQL database, it is recommended to select "MySQL Improved" instead of "MySQL".
"

As Piotrek asks for, it would be great with some details of the difference between using mysql vs. mysqli in the context of eZp 4.

If you know, please share your information here :-)

Thanks,
Jonny

http://www.php.net/mysqli

I can just point you to this url... As you can see it is kind of a software/driver upgrade with new functionality.

Yup, I had already dealt with it before I first touched eZ Publish. Just thought there could be some eZ related issues.

How would you see lack of persistent connections for an eZ site with high traffic? Did actually eZ Publish make use of those at all?

Thanks

Especially this page provides further information: http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.overview.php

They advise to use MySQLi: "Note: If you are using MySQL versions 4.1.3 or later it is strongly recommended that you use this extension. "

As for eZP-specifics, some corner cases are:
- cluster-mode support still lacking
- script to convert db from mysqli to oracle still lacking

Now, that's piece of concrete and practical info, Gaetano. Thanks!
I think this could be mentioned somewhere, for example in the installation wizard.

Cheers,
Piotrek
