Mike,
When I got into the computer business a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I met an old technician, ironically named Paul, who used to say on a regular basis "Computers would be a lot more fun, if we could get rid of the users."
At the time I was shocked and horrified he would say something so offensive, but the older I've gotten, the more I have come to believe he might have been onto something...

Ted, I would (almost) give up my keyboard for the chance to get them to use MariaDB or anything other than the Evil Empire's SQL Server.
Unfortunately, I'm not driving the bus on this one and they're convinced that SqlServer and ultimately Azure is the only REAL game in town.
But, thanks for the breath of sanity!

P.S. Friends don't let friends run Windows servers ;)

Any advice on how to obtain the Free edition of MySQL server for testing?
I'm assuming the free edition will run on Windows 7 or 10?
I see they have a Linux version, but it doesn't appear to be free.
Any tips appreciated!
