    SQL VS MySQL

    hey everyone. another db question. ive been trying to install SQL server express on my computer but im having all kinds of problems. i was thinking about just using MySQL (as i have experience with it with PHP). how comperable is it to SQL server. what are the pittfalls of using it? like i said in an earlier post, i want to create an application that runs on local machines, stores data in DB's located on servers, and can connect to a centralized server located off site via the internet

    thanks

    What problems are you encountering when installig SQL Server Express? Since you have said that you already have experience with MySQL then you should be able to tell if it will fit your requirements or not.

    If you are from a MySQL background And you don't have the time to learn and take full advantage of T-SQL (or you are already used to implementing business logic at mid-tier) then your better off sticking with MySQL.

    Be aware that MySQL is only free under some circumstances.
