Mac OS X (Client) Database Software


Recommended Posts

Hi ya'all,

As I'm turning to Mac's, what is the best form of databases for ASP programming..?

I know that I can get an ASP module for Apache, or somehow convert ASP to PHP. But I'm looking for something like Microsoft SQL Server. You see with MS Access, it could only handle 10 similtaneous connections, where MS SQL Server can handle 100's. Is there an equivalent that Mac OS X can use that handle 100's of similtaneous connections..?

Any recommendations would be very grateful.

P.S.

I've heard of MySQL, is that any good?

P.S.2

Links to the homepages of the databases would be nice too :)

Thanks in advance :p

Well, this site (and most of the internet) runs on MySQL. It's not Access, I'll tell you that. It can handle safely up to about 2000 connections (maybe more with tuning). What I meant by enterprise is like 10k connections or whatnot :D

10K connections, I see what you mean - I can safely say I won't need that many connections ;)

I'll have to have a good look into MySQL, 2000 connections sounds very nice indeed - more than enough.

All I have to do now is figure out how to use the MySQL database and convert my ASP Access site into MySQL (PHP). I'm glad Dreamweaver MX can handle PHP scripts ;)

And if there's any info on how to use PHP, MySQL database, scripts connections then that'll be great. I can do it all in ASP but PHP is all new to me.

Thanks again.

Well, I assume you were using SQL to do all your db interaction. In that case, MySQL should pretty much accept anything you threw at Access/MsSQL. There are exceptions, but it's 99% the same.

As for ASP to PHP, there is a tool I've heard of, but it sucks and it's best to learn by hand anyways. Look in the web programming forum for some threads started on the subject :)

    • Hmm, I'll give it a go
    • Is Samsung teasing a Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra? An official press release suggests so by Sagar Naresh Bhavsar We are inching closer to the launch of this year's premium foldables from Samsung: the Galaxy Z Fold7 and the Galaxy Z Flip7. Recently, a certification revealed that the affordable Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, could also debut alongside the other two foldables. The device is expected to take on the standard Moto Razr 2025. While we were getting excited about the trio, Samsung has put out a press release to create some hype around the upcoming foldables. Interestingly, the company has put great emphasis on the "Ultra" branding, which it usually uses for its Galaxy S-series phone and previously for Note-series phones. So, does this mean, we are getting a Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra? Time will only tell. As for the press release, it is titled "Meet the Next Chapter of Ultra" and the first line highlights how Samsung has been listening to fans that have demanded "bigger screens, better cameras and new ways to connect and create." To churn up up the hype, Samsung added, "That’s why Galaxy’s next chapter is to provide an experience that seamlessly blends artistry and engineering to elevate everyday interactions." The GIF inside the press-release reveals what looks like the Galaxy Z Fold7 (or the Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra, if that exists). Rumors have indicated that this year's Galaxy Z Fold7 is getting taller and wider than last year's model, thanks to a bigger display. The Z Fold7 could also feature a titanium backplate to not only reduce its thickness and make it stronger but to shed some weight as well. The company then directs the attention to its AI features such as voice controls for finding the perfect eatery or shopping place, using powerful AI-powered camera features, and so on. We will get to know more about the devices in the coming weeks. By that time, let us know your thoughts, on whether you would like an Ultra foldable or want Samsung to tweak the existing model and keep the space less-crowded.
    • A couple of friends of mine have been building Gunpla for years and got me interested, so I asked and they recommended this as a fairly good quality, very affordable, starting point. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BGN9K1MV It was fun to build, didn't take too long, and helped me decide if I wanted to go further with the hobby, which I did.  Still only got this one built, but that's only due to time availability!
    • I've had an original, a Lite, and an OLED and I have just one question for you.  How big are your hands? I got rid of all three because, simply put, they're sized for kids hands more than anything, especially the Lite.  The Switch 2 is a fair bit larger but I'm not agreeing to Ninty's new EULA for the thing.
    • Where does he say that he'll give 99% to Africa? I agree that he said that he'll give 99% of his wealth, and you quote him saying that the majority will go to Africa. The majority of 99% does not mean all of the 99%. It could mean that he'll give just above half of that.
