John -- Yes, AFAIHH .NET client machines can run against mySQL. I can be wrong but aren't you just trying to use "raw modern multi-core processors power " to crunch relational db indexes and joins and for that you need to use all the processor's cores?, What if you'd try to use just one core and a lot of cheap memory for MS SQL db communication and use other cores to your custom application data processing/crunching and you'll write some custom C#/.NET coding for that - would that save your customers from paying high MS SQL per-core license costs *right now*? And when they get good profit from your working solutions then they can afford some loans from banks and afford per-core MS SQL licensing - and by that time you'll get them developed even more better and more profitable custom solutions? > It isn't dead simple but you do get off the endless licensing treadmill with Microsoft. John, but "licensing treadmill" or "custom software development and support treadmill" is what drives your, mine and other companies hi-tech businesses, isn't it?
