Hello all,

I have just bought a domain name 2 months back. I will be looking into using the asp side of the package very soon. But when i took out the package i did not realise that they do not support mircosoft access databases, they only support mysql.

I have never used mysql and was wondering is it hard to get to grips with or is it straight forward?

mysql is already setup on my server i think i just have to setup the tables as needed and then setup the connection string.

Basically if anyone has any tips or comments for me before i start playing around with it i would be grateful.

My website is www.webinventions.co.uk

Thanks all.

It shouldn't be too bad. Here are a few examples on how you could get started with your connections.

MySQL is a very robust, powerful, lightweight database solution. It lacks some features that SQL Server has (Stored Procedures, Triggers, and Views... that functionality is coming in version 5), but it's main feature is that it is open source! I use MySQL for everything I do. It is incredibly stable on a Windows platform, and its popularity is growing.

Use it as you would MSSQL. Let me know if you need any help. I've been developing ASP apps with MySQL for a few years now.
