Re: Using SQL on Development Machine

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Download the MySQL bits for your OS. Then, you need a provider if you are
going to use OLEDB instead of ODBC (speed primarily). Have not touched MySQL
in quite some time, but a quick google search will find open source
providers.

Vista is a bigger problem, as you have to make sure you have VS 2005
properly patched and you have to deal with the IIS compatibility (if a web
app) to get things rolling in IIS. I am waiting for VS 2008 for my final
foray into Vista.

My Web application will eventually be hosted on someplace like
GoDaddy.com.

NOTE: I am not asking anything about hosting my application on the
Internet.
Rather, I'm asking about testing the application here on my desktop during
development.

On a new Vista system with Visual Studio 2005 installed, do I need to
install anything else in order to test it?

Specifically, I'm wondering about My SQL. With all the tons of stuff
included with VS, do I need to download and install this in order to
connect
to a database on my test machine?

All comments welcome--I'm lost.
