Re: MySQL WinXX and Linux

[Alan Mead <adm ipat com>]

The 3.20 is GPL, is there a Windows version or can you compile it using ... 
what is it... cygwin?  Or get work to cough up the $200 (the euro was worth 
less than a dollar recently--I thought--are you sure it's not 
US$145?  anyway, maybe the price will go down soon).

Or, MyODBC is free, you can host the DBMS on Linux and use access or 
whatever as your front end.  (Assuming you have a couple machines and a LAN).

I like MySQL a lot but a technically (?) better (?) and more open choice is 
PostgreSQL.  But I don't know if there is a Windows port.  MySQL is 
generally held to be a lot faster than  MySQL.
