Re: [DFW CFUG] SQL Server options

Great link Jeff! Work got in the way and I couldn't get to it fast enough. :) Brad, I'd seriously try and talk your client into something like MySQL. Unless like Jeff says, their is some overriding reason that must stick to that platform.

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.
