I am working on a website with two applications on the server - both
accessing the MySql database. PHP applications are reading and writing
to the database and a Java servlet (running under Tomcat) is also
accessing the database. Currently the software in both applications is
under development so there is very little in the way of actual database
accesses, however, someone has suggested that we will have problems in
the operational system because both Java and PHP applications will be
attempting to access the same database.

My understanding of MySQL is that it can handle these accesses without
a problem.

I would appreciate any comments on the potential problems that we might
see.

Thanks,

Mike
