MYSQL Help

Post by bobl499 »

I have ran a pool with this program for a few years and have really enjoyed it. I've been able to just barley get it up and running on my domain with a little outside help in the ASP version, now with GoDaddy no longer supporting an Access database I am kinda dead in the water. I have a little IT knowledge but for the life of me cannot figure out how to the SQL version loaded, or really where to start. I have, with the forums help, downloaded the sql files from this site, but have not had any luck beyond that. Any help form you great guys would be appreciated. TIA!

I really can't offer any help on the MySQL portion, but an alternative would be to keep using the Access version and just find a free host. There are a few out there that offer free hosting for .ASP stuff.

I know this is old but wanted to say this: ASP Can run mostly with any Database. I run most of my sites (ASP, and .net) using mysql databases.
The key is having the same table/field names and having the correct connection string.

Bam, do you have a working mysql version of the pool, I would like to test if possible. I have been running into issues with the access version. People are getting locked out and so on

OK, sorry I just looked at the post and they said mySQL, not MS, that is why I keep pointing to it.
