Any other SQL or MS Access / OleDb databases available?

93 New Member
I'm working through the lessons at Programmer’s Heaven's "C# School" tutorial (http://www.programmersheaven.com/2/Les_CSharp_0), and I'm currently on lesson 13, "Data Access in .Net using ADO.Net", so of course I've been trying to connect to Programmer’s Heaven's SQL and MS Access / OleDb databases. Unfortunately, they're now offline. Can anyone please tell me; are there other such databases available for those learning ADO to practice connecting to?

Microsoft provides a "Northwind" database for testing. They have ms sql versions and Access versions (that I am aware of) and usually come with the associated product.

I have an Access database on an ISP's web-space which is accessed through ASP - all standard stuff. Can anyone tell me whether ASP's object.context methods for transactions will work with Access? My ASP reference talks about SQL Server and XA protocol databases but I have no idea as to whether Access is covered by the latter. Thanks

Hi, I need to store and retrieve information from a database. It looks as though there is a lot more support for SQLServer than there is for Access, correct me if I am wrong. What do I have to do to get SQLServer and which version should I be using. Or is SQLServer already part of the VS.Net? Are there any good examples that you know of.

I'm thinking this has something to do with my access database and multiple connections. I'm using forms authentication with a login page. Is...

Hello All, I've been developing a VB.NET app that requires the use of a DB. Up to now, I've been using Access. It's a bit slow, but everything works. I'm at a point now where I need to decide if I should stay with Access or move the DB to SQL. I'm trying to come up with a list of Pros/Cons for such a move. My list is a bit lopsided, as I have very little experience with SQL and quite a bit with Access. PROS for moving to SQL:

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,...
