Hello.
I'm in the process of building my online community and I'm a the stage where I need to decide which forum engine I will use. Like many others, I'm torn between vBulletin and Invision PB. They both look excellent, although, I've had time to test vB more extensively and so far, I like the admin control panel more. One of the main differences I've noticed while comparing both products is that they both come with MySQL basic for the database but Invision also offers an Oracle database option for an additional $60. Does anyone know of significant advantages in using Oracle over MySQL? Is it worth the money?
