SQL2000/C# vs MySQL/C#

Hello NG-

I'm new to indepth programming and developing of C# and databases. I want
to make full use of ADO.NET with ASP.NET and C#. So my question is this;
Will I be able to use the technologies I just mentioned if I were to use a
MySQL databases versus a SQL 2000 database? I am asking this question from
an economic standpoint. My provider gives me 25megs of MySQL space but no
SQL2000. However, I want to be able to code using all the technologies
mentioned because I am eager to learn the new technologies and because I may
consider taking the MCAD test sometime in the future. Can you give me your
two cents? Highly appreciated. If you have a link that discusses this, I
will take that too.

BTW, I can afford to get the SQL2000 server space but I would rather not if
I dont have to.
Thank you.

hi
check this link out
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/database/ConnectMySQL.asp

this article shows how to connect to mySql from .net

Personally i feel it will be worth to connect to SqlServer Coz it is also
from Microsoft and gives 80% more performance than any other DBMS with .net

regards
Ansil

Hello back :-)

MySQL ? Don't do it. I checked this out some time ago. Compared to the cut
down version of SQL Server (MSDN) MySQL doesn't do at all well. Compared to
SQL Server it's a gnat. It's a false economy.

Adam.

This isn't really for a viable solution though. It's more of a way for me
to play and learn with ASP.net with MySQL and C#. For these purposes, do
you think, I'll be okay?

That's pure BS. Don't listen to him. All he has done is "checked this out
some time ago".
I have used both systems for years and it's definitely worth learning both.
