It's one of the few databases I'd consider inferior to MySql, not because it lacks cross-platform compatibility, but because it is a Microsoft product ;-)
Realistically, any of the major database servers will have advantages and disadvantages compared to the others. I personally like PostgreSQL: it is free for both noncommercial *and* commercial use (unlike MySql, which is only free for non-commercial use), it is reasonably fast and quite powerful, fully ACID-compliant, supports stored procedures, views, and so forth, has a sizable user community, etc.
And it runs just fine on my OS X box, along with Windows, Linux, and a variety of other platforms.

What about the differences between MySQL and MSSQL. The proponents of MSSQL
are adamant that it is far better. Is it really? Of course, it's not
x-platform, which is a mark against it in my books... Jim

Yes I agree that SQL is the way to go. I can't wait until the MySQL to
SQLite utility is released so that I can try SQLite. I think it will be
faster at connecting.
