[dba-SQLServer] [AccessD] MySQL

Hello Jim / Arthur

Thanks for that analysis, quite accurate.

Mr Colby, just a question, why are you not advising your client to use the
free MS SQL express R2.  I use it all the time and PowerDNN use it on all
there servers that host 100,000 DNN installations.  All free db's.  That is
not to be sniffed it.  And there are loads of tools to help with the
enterprise tools that Express does not ship with.  (Note:  the free version
does give you SSMS)
