If your databases have any size to them (like more than 1/2 the amount of ram you have), you'll need to manage memory. SQL Expects to be an only child. Check out sp_configure in books on line to learn how to limit the amount of RAM sql will take At 06:56 PM 4/8/2002 -0500, Tod Harter wrote:

Hi there, I will shortly be installing a MySQL server at my place of work, the box I will be installing it on currently has MS SQL server running as well. (I believe its a "wintel" box). Anyway, I am wondering if there are any known problems having MS SQL and MySQL running on the same machine. My

Steve, I also experienced the same results you did until I realized that the MS-SQL connection was using pooled connections and my use of MySQL wasn't. After I started using persistent connections to MySQL, it was much faster than MS-SQL on identical hardware and no tuning on either system. Als

Did you put MS-SQL server on the ASP server machine? Or did you put windows 2000 on that formerly bsd box. Where both setups communicating over ethernet? Or was the second setup a single box? (would be much faster) An ASP server communicating to MS-SQL, even via ODBC, is probably as close to opt

Hey guys, Most of the accounts I have read about MySQL was that it was one of the fastest databases around. Now, for development purposes I created a FreeBSD system with JUST MySQL (no other major processes). Then I created a separate Windows 2000 ASP server to server as our development server
