Although MySQL is not suitable for many environments, it is a step up from
Access and other file databases. It is missing many of the features of SQL
Server, including Transact-SQL.
However, MySQL runs well on NT, has a fine ODBC driver, and is as stable as
anything else. Perhaps best of all, it is in your price range (free).
It is definitely worth a look. We've used MySQL for logging purposes, but
rely on Microsoft SQL Server 7 for everything else because we really need
some of the features that MySQL lacks.

Subject: OT: Cheaper Alternative to SQL Server 2000
Sorry about the OT post.
I was wondering if someone could give me some feedback on a cheaper
alternative to SQL Server. I am on a limited budget to create my own
webserver and I have only experience in developing with CF and SQL Server. I
really can't afford the $5,000 that Microsoft wants for SQL Server 2000.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks for your time
