Modules will be written to use the mysql database. However, the
module's own configuration data may be in a dbf. That dbf will work in
most scenarios. If your store is in a load balanced environment, even
then, most scenarios will be ok. I saved comments from David and Tim on
this issue when they responded to question I had asked. You can read it

If a module is not specifically written to use the
mysql interface, it will still be able to use dbf
databases. So you're not guaranteed that a module
you install in a mysql-based MM5 store will have its
specific data in mysql.

Yep... the modules have to be written for mm5.. the whole paradigm is
different...
mm4 modules wont' work until they are modified. Same thing happened back
when Merchant
went from uncompiled to compiled. The module makers just gotta match the
api of the new way of doing thing..

If it is set to use Mysql then will it not be using the dbf at all? Do I
have to be concerned that some modules won't work with the mysql database?

You have to choose whether you want it or not from the start,
MM5 can't go from dbf to mysql currently. But yes, if you
set up a MM5 store with MySQL back-end, you can hit it from
any other application that can talk to MySQL to retrieve or
manipulate the data as needed; just be careful when doing
updates; you wouldn't want to add products without adjusting
the related tables for example.

You have to choose whether you want it or not from the start,
MM5 can't go from dbf to mysql currently. But yes, if you
set up a MM5 store with MySQL back-end, you can hit it from
any other application that can talk to MySQL to retrieve or
manipulate the data as needed; just be careful when doing
updates; you wouldn't want to add products without adjusting
the related tables for example.

How does the mysql option work in mm5? Does it replace the dbIII? Does it sync the info between the 2?

Can I now write php pages to pull the product / order info onto static pages?
