[QUOTE="MichaelSullivan, post: 89827"] Neither PostGres or MySQL are at the level of SQLServer, but either would be sufficient to learn basic SQL and DB management. That said, some of the specific SQL you'd use in a SQLServer class would most likely use TSQL, and therefore wouldn't be compatible with MySQL or PostGres. I've used SQLServer for years, its a great DB. MySQL is a good DB thats really coming along lately. PostGres.... [i]well [i]mama said, "if you can't say anything nice..."[/i][/i] Finally, you can use a tool like [url="http://www.macosguru.de/index.php?adwordsid=3"]http://www.macosguru.de/index.php?adwordsid=3[/url] to access SQLServer, MySQL, and more ... as long as you can access them via a network. This would most likely be your best bet... just connect to a SQLServer instance, and code away. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
