Hi,

I just want to know (approximatively,1w,1m,1y,etc) when alex release a beta version of links 2.0.X with sql support.

Thanks

You can expect a lot of new things coming out of here in the next month! We are moving to a new office and hiring on a couple new people to handle the email and forum load. This will give me a lot more time to spend on development (but I will still be answering questions here)!

My apologies to those who have been waiting a while for the SQL version, but it's on its way. I will have it done by end of May for sure.

Cheers,

Alex

and what might the sql price be???

please tell me where it is, cause i dont see it on your site.

------------------

We are just putting the finishing touches up and expect an announcement to the mailing list and on the forum/website on Monday. Details will be included then..

Thanks for your extreme patience.. =)

Cheers,

Alex

How would SQL be better?

Faster, searches, can hold more links. Now to figure out how to make my pages samller so i can get up to 3,100 categories. If anyone knows of someware i could get 50mb+ of free hosting for my directory?

------------------

Would upgrading be difficult? What would it require?

Right now, I dont know. Alex hasent realeased any information/specs on the SQL verson. I would assumpe that there is a perl script that will be included that wouyld convert the normal databases to the SQL tables.

------------------

Jimz, I can host your Links site. When SQL-Links is released, you can migrate to MS-SQL 7 which I have running on several of my T1 connected NT servers.

How much are you willing to pay for the hosting of your site on my servers?

Let me know.

Bill

I think that Jimz is looking for FREE hosting options for his large database. Good luck in finding an ISP that will host your site for free. You may find some ISPs that will charge you reduced rates based on your content and organizations, however, I have heard of NO ISPs that will host a large database for FREE. If you find one, let us know.
