yep, me too, I like it also, but you cant beat an Enterprise Level DB like SQL Server for features.

I didn't compare prices, also mysql runs much faster on a poor machine! and I wasn't dissing the product I like it for simple stuff were nested queries and stored procs aren't an issue. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robertson-Ravo, Neil (REC)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 2:17 PM Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Which SQL ?? You are correct, it is no where near as powerful, but it is free. -----Original Message----- From: Tom Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 23 September 2002 14:20 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ cf-dev ] Which SQL ?? the non-development release (of MYSQL) does not support nested sub queries or stored procedures, which in my eyes is a reason not to use it. this means that the functionality is far less that you can expect from SQL server.... take an example select * from table where id in (select id from table2) would have to be done in at least to queries... psuedo code: cfquery1 select id from table2 cfquery2 select * from table where i_id in (valuelist(cfquery1.id)) this is 2 queries where one should suffice, this is 2 connections where one should suffice. obviously this example isn't best, but use you imagination and you should be able to see where this could be problematic... Stored procedures are a fantastic way of using the data in the database as well... I prefer stored procedures as there is so much you can do with them, and they are definitely much more secure than writing queries... think about doing some data manipulation that you have to do with CF, and the write it back to the database, this shoudl be possible using a stored procedure. I am sure there are other reasons, but I am pretty new to MySQL and it's OK, but not nearly as powerful as SQL server... ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 11:48 AM Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Which SQL ?? > Thanks for all the info so far. > > Just wondering what the special functionality is that SQL2000 has over > mysql. > > It looks like sql2000 is what we need but he bods will ask why and will > want a non techy answer as to do we spend > > ************************************************************* > This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential > and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity > to whom they are addressed.
