ASP.net and MSQL

[ola123]

Hey,

I was wondering if MSQL could be the database used with asp.net instead of access (that what i was taught to use).

and if so what would be the better on to use.

Thanks in advance for you input.

asp.net has nothing to do with data access. that's what ADO.Net is for. if ADO.Net can connect to it then you can use the objects through out any code supported by .net.

asp.net is a framework for fulfilling uri requests. get/post, request/response, session/cookies, etc. Webforms is an html engine that uses asp.net to deliver the content.

BTW Access is a good choice for working locally with large amounts of data. it is a terrible choice for multi-user, multi-threaded applications.

Also, do not use the built in datasource controls.
