Hello everyone,
Many years ago I wrote a large database system using VB. The database was something called vbisam and it worked brilliantly. I had to code every line so user priviledges and logins were controlled by me. Now many years later, I have been approached to write a database system and I would like people's opinion on which database I should use. I have assumed that the favourites are sql server express and mysql. I have been experimenting with sql server but don't find it very intuitive (probably me!). Does anyone know of a really basic tutorial for creating databases in sql server and how to connect to them from VB2010? I am getting really confused by all the different servers I can set up and all the user accounts etc..
For example, I can set up a sql server mdf database, but I can't attac to it in the Management application.
For your information, this system may be used as a single user or used on a small network (no more than 4 or 5 users)
Shame that VBIsam doesn't seem to exist anymore.
Many thanks
Adrian Sen
