RE: [DFW CFUG] SQL Server options

Its interesting.  We talked about the option of MySQL and he was uncomfortable with a free product.  Apparently he wants to pay something just not a lot.  Go figure.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeff Lucido Sent: Monday, July 24, 2006 4:33 PM To: 'Dallas/Fort Worth ColdFusion User Group Mailing List' Subject: RE: [DFW CFUG] SQL Server options   Also, remember MySQL and PostgreSQL are very inexpensive for production licensing. A great alternative to SQL Server, unless you are using features which you must stay put with the MS environment.   -JSLucido   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Jordan Sent: Monday, July 24, 2006 4:22 PM To: Dallas/Fort Worth ColdFusion User Group Mailing List Subject: Re: [DFW CFUG] SQL Server options I think one of the biggest limitations is that the DB can only grow up to 4GB in size... and I think you're limited to one DB. I've been looking for the limitations. I could always ask the guy in our company who put the thing into action. It's worth looking at. We were surprised at MS too. :) Chris bsd wrote: I’m curious, though… .wouldn’t the express edition have significant limitations regarding the number of connections or current users or something along those lines?  Cant’ imagine Microsoft (of all companies) giving away something that they also charge $3400 or $6000 for.  From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Christopher Jordan Sent: Monday, July 24, 2006 3:52 PM To: Dallas/Fort Worth ColdFusion User Group Mailing List Subject: Re: [DFW CFUG] SQL Server options Oh! Brad. I just remembered that SQL Server has a free version out (MS SQL Server Express Edition). There are a couple of limitations, but speed is not one of them. We just moved one of our big clients to it so they could see the speed improvements and so that they'd feel better about shelling out the cash. http://www.microsoft.com/sql/editions/express/default.mspx Chris bsd wrote: Thanks… I think he would definitely tolerate some latency if it saved him $6K.  I’ll check HostMySite out.
