Miscellaneous database issues?
tagsInstallation and configuration problems with MySQL and MS-AccesstagsUsing MS-Access/ODBC caused the same kind of problems we have seen with MySQL. In those days, many people tripped up over congfiguring the ODBC Control Panel in Windows, which had to be done for each database, not just at install time. We got just as many emails in support about that as we now do with “Administration database unable to be created” etc. with MySQL. And, of course, it pretty much limited us to one OS. It also didn’t seem to work for sharing Compendium databases over networks, which we (with limitations) essentially got for “free” when we migrated to MySQL.
