I actually prefer MSSQL over mySQL any day.... But when im forced to use mySQL, I don't mind.

Been out of the loop for a while regarding EQ Emu. I was using 4.0.26 but when I checked on Angelox's latest database thought it best to switch to 5.0.27. MySql 5.x is the way of the future and 4.0.x is not even available for download anymore.

Got it running on 5.0.27 without too much trouble upgrading. Hardest part was getting the MySql service to install properly after un-installing 4.0.26.

All in all, I am now running great on 5.0.27 with Minilogin and Angelox's latest database.

Thanks for the offering your latest database to us Angelox. Its very much appreciated.

HAHA!

As if Access was a database proggie or something? ;)

I finally upgraded to 5.x+ and it wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. I only had to make sure it supported "old" passwords. Then I copied the contents of the data folder to the new version and it worked fine. The new tools they released for MySQL are also pretty helpful for getting this installed and configured.

Yup yup. It's maturing very nicely.

Pretty soon we're gonna have to add an entry for MySQL 6...

From the looks of things, Mysql 6 is going to be a major advance.

6 seems to be a lucky number... waiting on Perl 6 too (but who KNOWS when that will be ready... I think John Carmack from iD software is on their dev team or something lol)
