[thelist] PHP with SQL database, any problems?

[Bruce Gilbert]

any drawbacks to a php website with a SQL server instead of mySQL? the
reason I ask is we have a windows 2003 server and our IT dept is more
knowledgeable with maintaining a SQL server, but the site needs to be
designed with PHP (because that is the knowledge base of the
designer). The only advantage I can think of for mySQL is the built in
connection with DWMX2004 (our design program). Are there any other
advantages for mySQL with PHP?
