MySQL and SQL Server

[Michael Wong]

An off topic...
As anyone been using both MySQL and SQL server?
What's the difference of the two regarding performance, stability,
maintenance?

Hi Michael,

I haven't used mySql but from what I read there is a huge gap between.
Sql Server 2000 is way more powerfull than mySql.
Not to mention forthcomin Yukon.

MySQL (MyOLEDB Provider) lacked transactions last time I used it.

Thank you, that's exactly what I needed to know to make my final decision.
