Re: Using SQL on Development Machine

William,

Okay, so VS does not include an SQL server then?
Yes, it does. All Editions have SQL Express.

In another thread, you suggested I download MySQL from somewhere. Perhaps because I had mentioned it.

If my host supports both MySQL and SQL Server, is there any reason not to just use SQL Express that comes with VS2005 instead of downloading MySQL? At this stage, I have no idea which one is best, so I am certainly not looking to use one over the other. I'm just trying to make this as simple as absolutely possible.

Thanks.
