Can we use MS SQL and mySQL on RAQ4i? At the ASP management section, we can add either one... does this indicated that we can use both on the RAQ?

I know for sure you can use mysql ... not sure about ms sql

My question is can we use access on the raq4i?

thanks

I believe the only way to access Microsoft-based databases on a linux box is to make a remote database connection in your application. This is actually done quite a bit with larger corporate sites as their legacy database is typically built on Microsoft software.

I looked into this about 6 months ago because we needed to upgrade a server of ours using MS SQL and ASP. I wanted to move to linux for security/cost reasons but there was no way to access the MS SQL database directly on a linux machine. In the end, we actually came up with a better solution and simply called the database over the network. There may be some new solutions out there -- so look around on the web -- but thus far, I have not seen away to use a Microsoft database on a linux machine, this includes MS SQL, MS Access, etc.
