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 :)

    • Luck you. I get that pop up even after leaving the site for a bit and do some other surfing around and then come back.
    • It depends if they can market it to hipsters, then they might hold a niche.
    • No Man's Sky Beacon update overhauls settlements and player overseer duties by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Hello Games is back with another major update to its sci-fi space survival game No Man's Sky. This time, it has targeted settlement systems. The title will now let players be overseers who manage settlements across multiple planets while also discovering towns run entirely by robotic lifeforms. Space-faring players can now be the overseers of four settlements across the universe, with the job being offered to them after completing a unique objective. "Govern your settlers wisely and invest in their infrastructure to enable each settlement to flourish, producing lucrative resources, and becoming an invaluable base of operations throughout your journey," explains the studio. Settlement management has also been completely reworked with this update. Hello Games says that players will now have more important construction and upgrade choices, as each building has its own calculated contribution to the happiness, population, and productivity of its settlement. These can benefit the player via a wide range of resource production options. Not only that, each settler will even have their own personalities, strengths, weaknesses, and skills that will change how they work in their community. Players can find these by simply talking to any settler they meet on a planet. When a citizen dispute comes up, the number of choices offered to the overseer has been increased as well. As for the robotic settlements, they can only be found by scanning planets with specialist technology. Once found, these Autophage settlements can be taken over as well, letting players be the overseer and take care of the scrap metal-built locals. Other additions to this update include Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) upscaling tech support on PC, more voice types for player characters, better snapping when building structures, and cross-save support across all platforms. Don't forget that No Man's Sky will soon be arriving on a brand-new platform too. The title will be a day-one launch on the Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5.
