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">
