I have no idea if this is off topic enough or not or where this this should go so mods move if approperate.
I just started using MS SQL for my forums but I dunno if that's a good idea. My host now provides it at no extra charge but some hosts charge extra. Would it be any better than MySQL for a forum? Also does anyone know how to access it remotely like you can with MySQL using phpmyadmin? Or does this vary by host?
Also I may decide to just drop my host and host my site off my dsl. I know I can run the forums with MS Access extremely easily using just IIS and the drivers that come with it but Access is so slow! How hard would it be to set up MySQL on my rig?
