We are seeing some real inconsistencies using MS Access over a LAN. I am hoping to use another DB platform like MySQL. I am totally new to using this platform on Windows so here goes another learning curve. I see that it probably takes the MySQL .NET Connector to run. This means downloading and installing this file not only on my machine, but on every users machine which will be using the interface. The IT guys here are going to have a heart attack when I tell them I need to deploy yet another 3rd party driver. And yes, these are the same IT guys who hate Microsoft and keep telling me to move away from anything to do with M$.
So am I seeing this correctly. I will have to download this ADO.NET driver for MySQL and install it on each and every machine which will be running the app(s) I develop for use with MySQL? Is there anything more efficient than can be recommended?
