curious as to why anyone would want to switch from MySQL to MSSQL...... a quick look at mysql.com/customers showed the following: facebook feedster flickr fotolog
Let's be very clear about the different versions of MySQL. Chances are when someone says they are using MySQL, they probably have the free version. I guarantee you facebook and company are paying the healthy 5 grand per server for the Enterprise version of MySQL which comes with unlimited tech support, GUI Admins and monitors, etc. The free version of MySQL comes with pretty much a set of online docs and a "good luck". (Mind you I use MySQL-- the free version-- for my sites and like it very well). I'm guessing a lot of people who say they switched from MySQL to MSSQL probably went from the free version of MySQL to MSSQL. And if you're a .NET shop eyeing SQL Server Reporting Services, SQL Server Integration Services, and the rest of the MS koolaid, there could be a lot of very good reasons to switch. I really like MySQL (hey, it's FREE!), but if money were no object I would be using MSSQL for my personal sites in a heartbeat. Well, if my server wasn't Linux that is... :) ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
