ASP.NET & MYSQL

AJ
Hi all,

Is using ASP.NET with MYSQL a plausible option??

Do you loose a lot of functionality?? ?

Is it combersome?? Buggy??

My company is considering migrating to .NET and MYSQL may very well be the
backend they go for, so i am wondering is this combination worth while?

I prefer SQL Server, and think it is the best option personally, but there
is a bit of resistance from our IT department in adopting it...

Cheers,
Adam

The place I am currently contracting at are running some pretty big
portals (100's-1000's of users) written in ASP with a MySQL backend. As
far as I can see there are no performance problems or issues with this
setup, and there have been no true incompatibility issues between ASP
and MySQL, at worst I think some of the providers were re-written to
accommodate MySQL.

Yes, it is.

See :

http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/My...ipProvider.asp
for sample access code to MySql using ASP.NET 2.0.

Obviously .NET and MSSQL are tighter integrated, but I have never had
problems using mySQL. Note that stored procedures are not the same and
integration with Visual Studio is MSSQL only unless you buy third party
tools.

All RDBMS do pretty much the same thing at the most basic level. All support
some features that at least one of the others doesn't. E.g. if you need your
RDBMS to run on UNIX, no point evaluating SQL Server... :-)

Only you can decide whether MySQL satisfies all your requirements.
Is it combersome?? Buggy??
No.

MySQL certainly can't be beaten in terms of cost... :-)

Well, there's no doubt at all that .NET 2 and SQL Server 2005 were "made for
each other"... :-)

I installed the current stable release of MySQL from RPMs. I used the client and server packages. After installing the server package, the RPM printed a note saying I should run two commands.

A programmer developed an AMP (Apache/MySQL/PHP) application for me. When he was done, he sent me the PHP files and the MySQL dump file.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
