From: Geoff Schaller on 11 Jun 2008 18:18 Hi Folks, V2.0.2 is now ready to update from your desktop icon or you can download it from: http://www.softwareobjectives.com.au/downloads/sqlmaster/sqlmaster.msi The only change (apart from extending its useby to 30 Sep 08) is compatibility with SQL Server 2008. In this product the concept of groups no longer applies and has been replaced with Roles. I needed to fix the object explorer treeview to remove references to Groups. Other than that, all else is OK. Cheers, Geoff

From: Geoff Schaller on 12 Jun 2008 19:25 Kevin, No, it won't work with MySQL as MySQL do not provide OLEDB drivers. You can buy semi reasonable ones but the average user of MySQL is looking to pay anything. But I don't intend to support it because it is such a poor DBMS and the free ones from Oracle and Microsoft are so much better. The other thing is that there is so little commercial use of MySQL (amongst application developers peers like ourselves) that there is little use in wasting time on it. Ditch it. Look to MS SQL Express and get the 2008 version. It is fantastic. MySQL is but a toy in comparison.

From: kdmurphy on 13 Jun 2008 04:09 Geoff, The decision about the MySQL on the machine I was trying SQLMaster on was not mine. Without trying SQLExpress I am reluctant to recommend it become of the amount of stuff currently in use in MySQL by the client. I have not had any experience with SQLServer Express and so know little to nothing about it. Could you answer a few questions for me? There was a program I had that used MSDE and that was a pain to get working. Was that the preursor to sQLExpress? If so is SQLExpress easier to install and configure? Where can I find information on SQLServer Express 2008? Do you have a link? I can SQLServer 2008 on Microsofts site but not the express version.

Sure, but that doesn't change the basic fact that MySQL sucks bigtime. Yes it can work in the same way that bicycles do but pedalling has its limitations... > There was a program I had that used MSDE and that was a pain to get > working.

Yes, yes and yes.. but that doesn't absolve you from reading documentation and manuals etc. The installation is much better and unattended installs quite easy from very simple little script files. > Where can I find information on SQLServer Express 2008?

Did you google? <g> Just about any SQL Server 2008 site I came across had immediate links to the express edition. There is an avalanche of stuff on the MS sites. Geoff |
