Don't worry about the "bashers"; they don't know any better most of the
time. That said, if there are pieces of advice you don't wish to follow,
just say so an move on. BEWARE however, of dismissing good,
well-intentioned advice; think about WHY they "bash" you about switching
to MYSQL and respond logically and without emotion; leave emotion to the
others; it'll never get you anywhere on a newsgroup.
And returning name calling with more name calling is NEVER productive if
you're really looking for assistance.

What DO you want to do? It seems to have been trimmed from the
discussion or I just don't see it. I don't have time to reconstruct this
whole thread to see what your first queries were. Always keep your quest
visible in your posts.

Not unusual: it's good to explain WHAT you've read or researched; others
may be prone to suggest other places where you could get more targetted
advice.

No help; no details of what you did, nothing to try to add for you to
further your research.

Who cares? Don't sweat the emotional comments of others. It's not useful
and is always off topic.

When you're trying to make such comparins, they will fail because you
can only scrape PART of their code to submit. You have no idea what's
missing in the sense of code because a lot of it happens server-side and
you'll never see it; that's why they're done server-side: Hacker and
Cracker protection is one reason.
IMO you're comparing apples & oranges and the oranges' data isn't valid.
I would hope you've been able to take this as the constructive criticism
it's intended to be and not in a derogatory sense, which it is not.

Good luck,
