Hi Alex, I tend to maintain the MSSQL codebase as best I can - there are some estate pieces on 0.7 I am out of date with synching up with the other providers - it's on the todo list :) I'm very keen to see your changes, however I am completely useless with git and can't seem to get hold of your

I had said I would look at SQLite but I honestly don't think I will have time, plus if there are significant mono-related issues then I am not best positioned to work on it in any case, since I don't have any Linux machines at my disposal for mono testing (and my development servers will be going

You may find some issues with that since it's a CTP (pre-beta) from 2006, so some supported syntax in there may have changed for final release, but can't say for certain. Teravus is correct in that VS2008 is available for free (http://www.microsoft.com/express/vcsharp/). Installing C# 2008

Setting asset_database to local will store your assets in a .db sqlite database on your file system, and not in MySQL at all. If you run in grid mode, you should always set this to grid to avoid confusion unless you are connecting to someone else's grid and want your assets to be stored locally
