Well, anything is an improvement over access. ;-) You'll have to look into the documentation for MySQL. There is a lot of stuff that isn't supported SQL wise like transactions and the like, (too much to get into here...) but it's getting better with each rev. from what I've heard.
You could also go to Slashdot for a completely "unbiased" view of MySQL vs. SQL server... <G> Good Luck!

Freeware is frowned upon, although we did manage to get a Linux box to run WebCT. As it is, I think MS SQL is probably the forerunning candidate because the name is recognized by the decision makers and they view it as having better support. For the sake of argument though, MySQL is fairly robust? A definite improvement over Access? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
