What do .NET Open Source developers have against mySQL?
-
I've just been scuppered on installing either of two promising looking open source bug tracking products, BugTracker.NET and BugNET, because they both only support MSSQL databases. I appreciate the hard work of the, I think in both cases, solo developers, but DB agnosticism is crucial when developing for hosted environments. It should be one of the first features, not the last. Mantis it is then, I guess, even if I have to assimilate PHP into my site. ;P

You could always generate a script to create a MySQL database for the said products. Not sure how nice or time consuming putting together the data layers would be.

Thought of trying Trac? If only so you're using Python and can retain some self-respect?

I'd very much like to contribute to these projects in some way like that, but I first need to get at least one bug tracking system running on my mySQL only host.

Can you use SQL Server Express Edition for a bug tracking application. How many users will you have?
I didn't get any requirements for the signature

Probably the same thing PHP developers have against MSSQL :)

My current hosting plan only allows me one mySQL database per domain. I can get a full MSSQL database, but would like to get something working before all the admin waiting etc. to upgrade. Hey, maybe I like Mantis and it doesn't cost me any more.

I don't know about open source developers but commercial ones were treated like shit by the Mysql people for quite some time. We decided on FireBirdSQL (in addition to mssql) for our product primarily because it's far superior to MySQL but we only found out about it because we were treated like lepers by MySQL when we enquired about commercial app licenses and left NO STONE unturned to find an alternative.

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.

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.

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