What do .NET Open Source developers have against mySQL?

[Steve McLenithan]

I have no problem with using MySQL when the need arises. The apps I've been working on lately, require more or less xcopy style distribution and speed. So in this case I've been using SQLite in memory.

Well, we had a bit(!?!) of a problem with one of the MySQL drivers not releasing connections properly. It caused no end of problems, and was well documented on the MySQL website - but nobody there seemed remotely interested in fixing it.

The only way to design a system without the database in mind is to ignore the features of the particular platform that make it really shine.

Oh that you had a typo at the end there. It would make it much more entertaining.

I don't get it?

Well... SQL Server is better. :-D

I know. :(

A SINGLE-PHOTON TURNSTILE, a device in which photons are emitted one at a time under controlled circumstances, has been created by a team of scientists from Stanford (US), Hamamatsu Photonics (Japan), and NTT (Japan). Essentially the researchers use the quantization of electrical conductance to produce a quantization of photon emission. They put together a quantum well (the frontier between two thin semiconductor layers) containing a single electron (other electrons are dissuaded from entering because of a "Coulomb blockade" effect) with a quantum well containing a lone (comparably Coulomb blockaded) hole, and then cycle the voltage across the whole stack of layers in such a way that the lone electron and lone hole meet, mate, and make a lone photon. The resulting device, which operates at mK temperatures, is typically a tiny post some 700 nm tall and with a diameter of 200-1000 nm. (J. Kim et al., Nature, 11 February 1999.)

For certain applications that don't require much shine, generalisation wins. With small business oriented, low database usage pretty much makes what shines moot; you don't see the shine until you do a real database centric application.

My bias is obvious as my primary business is large scale database applications so it hard for me to give the other a fair shake.

that would be a dig at php i'm assuming?

The very first thing is probably the licensing. They model has been confusing to say the least. Then there is the new owner....

You'd be pretty much right - I much prefer Python (yes, I'm a bit of a language snob :-))

If only you had a typo in your last sentence. Specifically shit instead of shine.

I'm the author of BugTracker.NET. For sure you can find hosting companies that offer SQL Server. I'm running this demo[^] at GoDaddy.com, for example, and it's just a few bucks a month. I started off developing in a DB agnostic way, but it was hard not to take advantage of SQL features specific to SQL Server. And later, once Microsoft released their free, easy, excellent SQL Server Express, there wasn't much point. For me personally, when I started my app, it was just a little project for me to learn ASP.NET, C#, and other Microsoft technologies. I didn't foresee it becoming so widely used, and I certainly didn't look ahead to it being hosted. But, when I myself played with the idea of hosting BugTracker.NET instances commercially, I did come to learn that it's much cheaper to get a dedicated (virtual) server running Linux than Windows. But following that logic, I should have developed in PHP, not .NET.
