Re:SAMP VS LAMP

[joe_bruin]

No doubt, SAMP > LAMP.

strcmp confirms it, SAMP is greater than LAMP!

$ cat amp.c
main() { printf("%d\n", strcmp("SAMP", "LAMP")); }
$ gcc amp.c
$ ./a.out

When the database connections are abstracted properly it becomes fairly trivial to swap out DB backends without changing much, if anything of the application itself.

Nice in theory, but MySQL, being an "extended subset" of SQL, doesn't support a lot of standard SQL features, then makes up for it by doing it their own nonstandard way. Perl is nice about abstraction with the DBI, but PHP is a complete mess. Every PHP project I've seen either a) uses raw mysql_* functions or b) uses a roll-your-own db "abstraction" which is tied to mysql tighter than the ball gag in CmdrTaco's mouth when Cowboy Neal re-enacts the gimp scene from Pulp Fiction.
