Shared database desktop/web app
Question by tonycanyouhearme
We have 2 applications: web-based (PHP) and Desktop (VB) sharing the same database (Hostgator). Our web app has a fast access to the database (it’s localhost). Our desktop application suffers with slow access and frequent timeouts.
What’s the best approach to this kind of issue? Should we share a database? Are there any other solution.
Thanks

AFAIK, I dont suppose, this could be a problem. Because, web or desktop, both access the database with MySQL server, so it mustn’t be giving mixed performance results.
