Quick question for ya...

I noticed you are running this on NT 4.0

Has the mySQL for NT become more stable? We were a little hesitant about purchasing it because there were some reported bugs, but this has been a while back.

Thanx in advance,
Martin

I be running the freeware version right now.. MySQL 3.21.29a

I have pretty much done it trouble free but then again I haven't done anything major with a public website with it..

Sorry I could provide more useful info..

still appreciated :)

are you using any of the Admin GUI's that are available?

I am running phpMyAdmin for manipulation from a browser and the gui apps I am running are MySql Admin 1.04 and WinMySql Regular 1.1.. I been using both apps since their intial releases and I think they are pretty dam good for open source gui apps..

I downloaded the latest version of MySql btw, but haven't upgraded to it yet.. I am affraid to since I haven't had any problems.. Ain't broke dont fix it feeling I guess..

I have also payed around with MyODBC and it is pretty slick too.. I use a security program called flicks that works with IIS.. It simulates htaccess on NT but is much more secure.. You can protect things down to the file level.. With MyODBC you can use an existing mysql db for user access.. With PHP 4's COM features you can access the session info from the server.. It works natively with ASP but any scripting language that allows COM access works too if ya know the commands..
