Our preferred database development environment is MySQL.
It's scaleable, customisable, fast, and we and thousands of others worldwide have found it very reliable and secure.
Companies using MySQL include: Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Motorola and Xerox. It is becoming the database solution of choice for many web based and standalone applications due to its flexibility and efficiency.
Because it's distributed under the Open Source philosophy, you aren't tied in to one supplier or one software development house. Thousands of developers with a huge range of technical skills are working with MySQL now. If they find a bug or a security hole, the fix is quickly available because there are so many people cooperating to find it. Find out more about the Open Source movement here.
SQL Server Development
However, if you prefer the reassurance of using a 'big name' brand, we also have experience of developing and tuning databases that use SQL Server from Microsoft, including the latest version, SQL Server 2000, which is fully web-enabled, complete with a set of web-based reporting tools. We can add customised reports and forms to your existing SQL Server setup, or help you tune the database so that it runs faster and is more reliable.
Contact us with details of your MySQL or SQL Server project to find out more about how we can help.
