*** WARNING: Longish-type email to follow ... *** WHAT!? You have FREE TIME??!!! *** get's out muffin pan *** BAP! BAP! BAP! <harumph> *** muttering about deadlines and moving and packing ... wishes Kola were here to help ... *** <grin> I haven't used mySQL, but I've researched it a bit just for curiosity's sake, so here are some of the goodies I've come across. In my opinion, if you already use SQL Server .. stick to it. Unless the client doesn't want to spring for it. Then mySQL seems like the most viable alternative, even though it's not feature-rich. With spare time on your hands, and the coming of NEO, why don't you dive into some Java? Unless of course you already do that! :) Anyways, hope the following points you in some kind of direction! :) Some pretty decent resources: http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Tutorial.html http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/code/mybasic.htm http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/programming/php/tutorials/tutorial4.html http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/MySQL/MySQLWiz/page1.html http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/MySQL/Access/page1.html http://www.devshed.com/Server_Side/MySQL/ODBC/page1.html mySQL Interface: http://www.dbtools.com.br/index.php ----------------------------------------- >From a previous posts on CF-Talk: >>|-----Original Message----- >>|From: Paris Lundis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >>|Sent: 10 November 2001 08:25 >>|To: CF-Talk >>|Subject: MySQL 4.0 >>| >>|".... >>|MySQL 4.0 further increases the speed of MySQL in a number of >>|areas, such as bulk INSERTs, searching on packed indices, creation of FULLTEXT >>|indices as well as COUNT(DISTINCT). >>| >>|The table handler InnoDB is now offered as a a feature of the >>|standard MySQL server, including full support for transactions and row-level >>|locking...." ------------------------------------------ >>|-----Original Message----- >>|From: Alex [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >>|Sent: 31 July 2001 22:34 >>|To: CF-Talk >>|Subject: Re: [mySQL] >>| >>| >>|its free, fast, has hype.
