it's more complicated than that. simple queries etc. can be done using ODBC. however, if the software is using things like scrollable cursors, then it in all probability Won't Work (TM) with anything except MS SQL. unless the developers are willing to put a good bit of effort into rewriting the DB-specific portions of their code.
also, the existence or nonexistence of .NET Framework drivers is probably irrelevant: most HR/payroll/inventory/etc developers out there are still stuck in the VB6.0 "old skool" mode and haven't done much .NET development yet.
the best bet would be Interbase/Firebird if you're going to be running on windows. mozcom has a lot of these installations out there (MS platform, Firebird DB). oracle and IBM DB2 are too complex for your average HR application.On 4/25/06, Tito Mari Francis Escaño < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Aside from MS SQL, what does the program vendor explicitly recommend
as database backend?
If you like Oracle-like features and no limitations while still being
FOSS, I suggest you go for PostgreSQL.
Hope this helps. Thanks!
