Re: MySQL used with VB .NET 1.0

I'm now thinking I should ask my hosting service to move me over to a
Windows host. There seems to be little or no downside to that, other
than the local backup of the site they want me to do before they move
it over. One other minor problem is they tell me that MySQL doesn't
work as well under Windows as it does under Linux. My guess is
whatever problems they are referring to are probably not with the
basic stuff I'd be doing. But, since the Access database server as
well as ODBC are available I probably wouldn't want to use MySQL
anyway.

Ed,

While there maybe some sort of grapichal PHP tool, I don't know of
any.
So,
basically you would be using a HTML/Text Editor.

By the way, PHP works on windows as well :) I'm not trying to
sway you
one
way or the other. You need to decide, based on what technology
you have
availalbe. If you want to use .NET - then you are most likely
going to
have
to switch to windows hosting. If you are going to stay with Linux
based
hosting, then you will want to focus on something like PHP.

It is not impossible that as there is hosted on windows that than
there is
than as well something as a SQL server available.


Actually, it's probable that it is - and mysql. I have both in my
windows
based hosting.

I think you should wait doing it and stay with your CSV/XML
solution, but
don't forget to ask it if you have to decide which hosting company
you would
take.

That's the root of the issue. If he is on Linux hosting and decides
to stay
there, then he is really in the wrong group and using the wrong
language :)
