Hi,I need an advice from experience programmers.
I'm learning ASP.NET and now I've come to chapter
about ADO.NET.
---I'm not even shure what sort of app will I make,
but can you tell me based on your experiences,will my apps most likely need to access some sort of databases
---Is SQL language the right choice
---which SQL(if you recomend SQL language)server would you recomend for me to study(or to which server will I most likely be accessing )

I hope you understood my a bit confusing questions
Thank you

Personally I think that SQL Server is the best way to go for database access. If your projects won't be huge with large budgets then MySQL or MSDE are good solutions. Both are free versions of SQL with slightly limited capacity.

As for will your applications need database access. YES in most likleyhood they will. Applications that don't utilize some sort of DB access are rather limited in what they can accomplish. They are very static and ridgid in comparision to some of the amazing web applications out there today.

Goto man, dive in it's an amazing world!

Hope this helped some. That'l do donkey, that'l do

Thank you.I just hope i won't drown.
One last thing,if I want to jump from MySQL to SQL server,
is that an easy jump or a hard one.In other words,how
difficult will the learning be?

mmmm Not sure cause I haven't used mySQL personally though it is supposed to be fairly similiar to SQL server. Enough to have annoying syntatical changes anyway.

I didn't have any formal training in SQL Server but I feel fairly comfortable with it now.

You'll be fine. If you frequent this site then you'll get all the help you could need. That'l do donkey, that'l do

MSDE is totally similar to SQL Server. Therefore the learning curve would be easier =)
