mySQL is installed, tables created, data imported, IIS/ASP connecting to mySQL via System DSN and myODBC. Looks like I'll have to re-write most of my embedded SQL as well as my stored-procedures. My SQL isn't 733t enough for mySQL.
Been programming for a Pocket PC at work using Embedded Visual Basic. Bit like programming for a dishwasher, or a 386 (same thing), they're not the fastest beasts in the world. At least... this one isn't. Apparently iPacs're better. They're (Pocket PCs and their like) a lot more interesting to me now I know they're so easy to write for.
