Good morning everyone,

    Last week I had my VPS provider upgrade Microsoft SQL 2008 to Microsoft 
SQL Server 2012 Web Edition. I'm using Web Site Panel to manage the server 
and hosted Web sites. If we're to use a database to provide access to 
information for site visitors we need to create the database, the users, and 
to connect to the database via OBDC. After some tinkering around by myself 
and some research by the VPS provider we discovered that the current version 
of Web Site Panel does not yet support MSSQLS2012. The Web Edition of 
MSSQL2012 is installed on the VPS. Since I would appreciate being able to 
use the server applications I'm paying for I wanted to find out if anyone 
else up here that uses Web Site Panel has upgraded to MSSQLS2012 and delta 
with the issues of the incompatibility of this new version of SQL Server 
2012. I'll be interested in hearing some possible work-arounds for 
interfacing a Web site with MSSQLS2012 Web Edition until full support for it 
is included in Web Site Panel.

    We're also considering using MYSQL as an alternative until the issues 
with WSP and MSSQLS2012 are resolved.

    Since our main need for an online database is for storing personal 
information we really wouldn't need WSP in the picture. I have Microsoft SQL 
Server 2012 Express ready to install on our machines and believe I could 
connect to the online database via SQL Management Studio. Since I have SQL 
Express for the local machine and want to connect to a full version of MSSQL 
are there compatibility issues with doing this other than not having 
particular database functionality available something one can get around 
with ColdFusion? And since mention has been made of CF10 being released does 
it include a way to connect to a database without the need for an 
application like Web Site Panel? I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

    Presently I'm having to connect to the VPS via Web Interfaces due to not 
having the remote desktop license for my screen reader something I plan to 
remedy later this year. Since MSSQL2012 Web is on the VPS is there a way to 
connect to it via a Web URL?

    Sorry if this is somewhat OT for this list. If someone can assist me 
with these issues or refer me to the proper list for help I'll appreciate 
that very much. All the best.
