List of all VB Databases

[essnrv]

Hi,

I am looking for a list of databases, that supported by Visual Basic 6.0 and comparision between them. Anyone has any idea, from where I can get (website etc..)?

Thanks

Any database that has an ODBC or and OLEDB interface can be used.

Not that I know of.

What are you trying to do exactly?

If you are thinking of developing a new application with VB you may wish to consider either one of the free ones (MySQL, MSDE, .MDB files), or one of the commercial ones (Oracle, DB2, Informix, Paradox, SQL Server, Postgres).

Either way for new development you should look at using ADO for all database access.

I agree with Frederico look at ADO.

Because technically VB doesn't support any database at all. It uses data access objects, of which ADO is the most versatile, to support most databases (including all the ones mentioned above). You can also add Pervasive to the commercial list. I believe that MySQL is still free only for personal use.

Forum669 - General database discussion has some discussions on database comparisons if you care to search it.
