I heard that MySQL version 4 (Press) supports subqueries. If that's true, there will be WebWiz forum for MySQL?

No as it's more than just the sub quiries that are the problem, ASP doesn't talk to an mySQL database very well using ODBC as the myODBC drivers is not very good and so you loose quite a number of features.

To make the forum work with mySQL would require that 99% of the pages to be re-written, loosing performance and security from the forum, so I would rather concetrate on Access and SQL server which are used more often with ASP.

What I found........
I'am not in SQL yet but this sound good.

Hans

==================================================
Using the Easysoft SQL Engine
(
http://www.easysoft.com/products/sql_engine/main.phtml) you could do both!

Use Access for now with ODBC, then when you want to move to MYSQL, SQL Server or any ODBC Data source, just change the data source and your code will work without modification (so long as the tables have the same structure). It will even iron out a few of the "irregularities" in MYSQL too

You can download a FREE personal edition from the website
===================================================

Edit: no free personal edition anymore? price

I use MySQL with both Classic ASP and ASP.NET daily as a proffessional WebDeveloper, so that is BULL.

In my opinion, Recordset.AddNew, should almost NEVER been used due to negative performence issues (more overhead with .AddNew than with regular INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE in straight SQL-queris)

Security? what are You talking about ..... You have more security with a MySQL database than an Access ....

IF! you had avoid that in code (.AddNew), the conversion to mySQL should be as easy as add another if-statement to runt against mySQL instead of MS-SQL or Access and some queries where dates are involved.

just my €0.02

To your first point, the myODBC driver doesn't fully support ADO this is where the problem lies.

To your secound point, using SQL to update, delete, etc. is less secure as it is more open to SQL injections, this is where the security problems I mention lie.
