Hi all This is
offtopic, but not everyone gets offtopic email.
I am just doing a
think about databases at the moment. My app. currently uses Access which is
fine, but at some stage this year, prob. early if I can, I will look
at moving it over to a diff. DB....maybe.
At this stage, the
leading contender is MSDE, or even SQL Server, but Prob.
MSDE
I am not looking at
Interbase, although IB7 looks interesting now that it supports temp tables, but
the whole client setup thing makes it less attractive.
The other DB that
comes to mind is MySQL.
Now I dont know much
at all about it, I have installed it, but that was it.
Is it a viable
contender to MSAccess or MSDE? (and you need to answer this wiht out an
anti M$ hate on too..hehehe)
One of the things
that I seem to remember about MySQL when I first looked at a few years back, was
it did not have Stored Procedures. Has this changed?
What would be an
advantage to use MySQL over Access or MSDE, apart form the fact that its a DB
Server and its free etc.
Cheers,
Jeremy
