I need to hear from you experts what database system you prefer to use
when you're creating a VB6 app that is going to need an *affordable*
(relatively low budget) back-end database. The system might have at
most 15 users at any one time.
To give you a bit of a benchmark, though I have used SQL Server in the
past, I think SQL Server is too high-end for this current job.
'Access' might do (you tell me), or even MySQL, or something else you
might mention.
My priority is keeping costs down, but, most importantly, finding a
database that works well with VB6.
Thank you in advance for any/all feedback that you'd care to share.
SQL Server works great. I'm in the process of migrating all my VB6 DB
apps from SQL Server to PostgreSQL which also works great and is ~FREE~.
If you try PostgreSQL make sure you get the OLEDB driver. Then you can
switch back and forth (assuming you're using the SS OLEDB driver) by
simply changing the connection string. All the rest of your code
remains the same.
I'm migrating because I think it's only a matter of time before the MSDE
I'm currently using won't install on a future m$ OS such as Vista. The
SS Express or whatever it's called is out of the question because it's
infected with all that .NET crap and runs like molasses compared to
MSDE.
Hope this helps,
