If I had to choose between MS SQL Server or or mysql, which would you recommend? I prefer nested subqueries, triggers, procedures etc supported by SQL Server but am completely unfamiliar with any problems that may be accociated with using Microsoft's product and PHP.
Ideally, I would use Oracle but it is probably outside of our budget.

Does anyone know of a good online source for using php and microsoft access. I don't want to have to use asp.
Thank you for your time.
