Hi Darren,<br>
Thanks for the information. I tried installing the AstBill a month ago
and didn't go thru well. It also requires Drupal at the end of
configuration. But I want to run off of Drupal. I agree that mysql 5
has lot of features and I am great fan of Stored Procedures. The
problem is, I am already running some applications in Mysql 3.23
version and I am not sure Mysql 5 migration going to affect those apps.
Anyway I will give it a try this week and if I need I will ping you for
help.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<p>AstBill now have an installation script that simplifies
installation. We also have an automatic upgrade service for support paying
customers. Just like windows update. :-)<br>
<br>
Contact me if you want paid installation/support. It cost less than commercial
software and you are supporting the development of sofisticated Open Source Software. <br>

The reason we are using MySQL 5 is that we believe in <span style="font-weight: bold;">the future</span>. Modern
billing applications need features like <span style="font-weight: bold;">Views and Stored Procedures</span> to scale
efficient. Must of the logic in AstBill is done in Stored procedures. This
saves round trips between servers and languages and allows for a very
efficient scaling of customers. We have live customers with 9500 users and have
done tests with 100 000 accounts. It works like a dream.<br clear="all">

Paypal integration is ready for support paying customers and 3 more payment
modules will be released in December.</p>
<p>You can run AstBill on Fedora Core 3. We have many customers
already doing that.</p>
