ASP.NET n MySQL

Hi,

Yes, ASP.NET works together with MySQL.

If it is a good choice, is really hard to answer. I would say that it
depends. Many people say that ASP.NET works best with other MS
technologies, so they would say that you should use MS Access or SQL
Server (or MSDE). Access however is not a good alternative for a website,
unless the traffic load is very low. SQL Server usually costs too much for
small companies, even if they have it hosted elsewhere. So, MySQL is a
quite good choice, when it comes to the money question.

If it is the best to use, is however not something i can answer. In my
opinion, SQL Server is (still) better than MySQL.

If you have more questions about ASP.NET and MySQL, i advice you to ask in
the ASP.NET newsgroup. The people there knows more about using MySQL and
ASP.NET, since this is not really related to IIS.

The ASP.NET newsgroup is:

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet

You might also find the forums at <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.asp.net" target="_blank">www.asp.net</a> to help you with your
questions.

Good Luck with your programming!

Sure.

It's worth what you pay for it.

MySQL has limitations compared to other choices, but if those
limitations don't matter to you it's a perfectly fine choice.

Hi BabyEvo.

I have around 1000 Customers using Mysql from .NET
and around 500 using MSsql and they seem to be just as
satisfied, but as J Smithers said there are few things they ask
about as why some things dont work the way they should
and that surely is for the reason that MySql is an pure
Data Storage while MSsql has a lot more features.

If i where to choose a database for my single .NET site..

I would choose MSDE or MSsql ( and in your case
MSDE ) for the reason it´s has the features you ?might?
run into a feature you ?might? want to use.


Best of luck.

Thanks everyone for your help!!!
I am just a fresh grad with little experiences, now I have to build an
Active Web Server and intranet for my company. I am new to the MS community,
so glad to find so many helpful people.

Yea I think my question is not related to this group, posted at the wrong
place...

May I ask what's the difference between MSDE and MS SQL, I read that they
are using the same database engine. Will MSDE be more difficult to develop
than MS SQL? I understand that MSDE is a basic engine, with many features
not included. Does MSDE have a query browser like what MySQL has?
Thanks!!!

Hi,

Simply said, MSDE is SQL Server without the tools to administrate the
database server, and with some usage limitations.

This page has more information and links to other pages that you probably
want to look at:

<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/howtobuy/default.asp" target="_blank">http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/howtobuy/default.asp</a>

I can also recommend you to ask the professionals in the SQL Server and
MSDE newsgroup for more help about SQL Server and MSDE:

microsoft.public.sqlserver.msde
microsoft.public.sqlserver.general

Good Luck!
