And then there's the whole opensource thing :) Your platform focus depends a lot on it too. If you're a MS shop, I'd imagine SQL would be the way to go. All the fancy MS integration stuff is there.
Connecting to it from other OS's is generally done with ODBC. ODBC is pretty stinky as it's an abbreviated syntax in most senses. There are probably a thousand points one can make to differ the two. 'Technically' (and broadly) they are the same thing. 'Practically' you'd need to figure out the other parts of the solution before honing in on a choice. -----"Martijn Tonies" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ----- To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: "Martijn Tonies" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 02/09/2004 12:16PM Subject: Re: SQL2000 and MySql Hi, > Does somebody can explain the technical difference beetwen SQL2000 and MySQL In exactly what area? In short: MS SQL 2000 is more advanced, has more build in stuff, is more expensive, most probably has more security leaks :-) With regards, Martijn Tonies Database Workbench - developer tool for InterBase, Firebird, MySQL & MS SQL Server.
