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 Procedures are only just coming out with alpha 5! Triggers not till 5.1.

Now if your writing an application beyond the toy "hello world" I personally feel that even if your only using a simple blogger, you should still be using stored procedures to do everything. Pre-compiled SQL runs alot faster, and if you've got multiple users hitting your site, sending a command string each time is really a waste of resources.

MSDE is microsofts gift to those who can use SqlServer imho, and with VS.Net you've got _THE_ perfect interface, also DbaMGR2k is good, but if you've got VS.Net 2003 just use the server explorer - all one integrated solution which is why I'll never leave MS products regardless of flaws - because when using FOSS I get flaws, and bugs and a lesser implementation but when i get a tad frustrated at it i get told "its free, dont complain". Well, MSDE is free - and it can do everything and more.

personally, the only thing I think that could be added to it, is a free stand alone interface to MSDE that is a little more responsive the DbaMGR. But for those deciding what DB to use, i strongly suggest just leave MySql alone if your able and stick with MSDE.

P.S - I dont work for MS either, its just i read about how bad this and that is about MS, but from a software engineers view, they've got my vote!

I am using a MYSQL Database with VB.NET for a CRM database. No problems
yet... Still in development. But multi-user (so far 2) seems to work ok.

I do need to work on stored procedures and stuff (learning I mean) as I
write everything into my code currently.
