Why MySql isn't as good as MSDE (2 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.odbcnet
I've been trying to migrate away from SqlServer2000 a bit because even thou I love it, and I own it from a developers point of view, it just isn't light weight enough for me. Solution: I thought, MySql, i'll give that a shot with C# see how it goes. Now MySql is great dont get me wrong, but from a Engineers point of view, it isn't full database. Its a toy database for hacking away at. Stored Proce...

Use of SqlConnection with an ODBC datasource (3 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.odbcnet
Hi everyone, Is it possible to use an ODBC datasource with a SqlConnection object? If we use SQL Server, we can create a SqlConnection, then drag it onto our form for use. But if we instead use an ODBC datasource, when we drag the connection onto our form, we get the following error: You cannot use an OLE DB provider for ODBC drivers. Thanks a lot, Mike

SQL Validation (2 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.odbcnet
I am using the Microsoft.Data.Odbc class to submit an SQL to TeraData using the commandText property (SQL is stored in a string locally). Is there a way to perform validation on the SQL syntax prior to submission to the DB? In our environment, we submit dozens of SQL statements sequentially and I am trying to eliminate bad SQL syntax from bombing the execution. Any help is appreciated!
MySql (5 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.odbcnet
I was wondering if Microsoft will have any classes available to connect to MySQL databases instead of just SQL. I know being Microsoft, they wouldn't want to do that, but a lot of the servers out there use MySql because it's more affordable than regular SQL server. Any comments or answers reguarding this? Also if so, when? Thanks a bunch.
