Just wanted to thank everyone who got involved in this
(at times rather heated) discussion. You've given me
quite a few pointers to think about and stuff to concider
and take up with our project manager.
Cheers mates!

1) Porting from MS SQL to MySQL is not the easiest of things. There are
several options, and they include connecting to both via MS Access and
ODBC, or using the Sybase perl drivers with the FreeTDS library to get it
to talk to M

If you know you're going to port it, it really shouldn't be too difficult.
In fact, if you're creating it with the intention of porting it, you can
(and should) use MSSQL datatypes that are compatible with MySQL. If you
do this, porting is a trivial task at best.
18,000 euro seems a bit steep fo

Hi
first of all it is ridiculus of the company to offer something
other than your specifications.
if they want to offer you a solution other than what you need,
they have to change the software at their cost not at yours.
in my opinion it is better to not accept this solution at all
and look fo
Hello all!
We've requested a database from different companies, and specifically
said we wanted MySQL or PostgreSQL because of the open source angle
and we're a library.
One company offered MS SQL as the platform and said that they can later on
port it to MySQL. For this they wanted 18 000 eur
