Symfony and Percona

Question

Does Symfony 2 support Percona? Or should I stick to MySQL ? I'm running Debian 6 (squeeze) and have MySQL installed but before I install Symfony was thinking maybe Percona would be better (faster) deal?

Thx.

Answer 1

Percona is just a fork of MySQL that is rebased on each release/version. So you get the exact same features as MySQL, but also get extra performance.

Yes, you can use a Percona Server just like a MySQL server with doctrine.
