What do .NET Open Source developers have against mySQL?

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

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

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
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.
