                                          For SQL.Net, you're probably referring to SQL CLR Integration:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms254498(v=vs.80).aspxhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345136.aspxThe differences between MySQL and SQL Server are to numerous to mention, but you can Google for each product's features and compare them.Which is essential?  Well, since SQLTeam is a Microsoft SQL Server site, you can guess what we'd say is essential.  You really don't want to hear my opinion of MySQL.  |
