MySQL vs. SQL Azure
Hi there - I have a small Access application that I sell and I'd like to give my customers also the opportunity to work on their data using an online database. MySQL works ok, but I have never solved the "Server has gone away" issue (including timeout adjustments etc.) meaning the connection regularly gets lost when the user is doing nothing. Now I am looking for a stable solution that I could recommend to my customers. Do you guys have made some experiences with SQL Azurehttp://www.microsoft.com/en-us/showcase/details.aspx?uuid=09aa4f10-333a-4c98-aed1-4cb300de63ec? Is it recommendable as an online database which could also be accessed from Access Runtime?
Your advice would be much appreciated!!! Thanks in advance - FRANK
