Is it possible to use prismaTS without MS SQL 2008? - NoddingHacker - 07-21-2020
Can I use MySQL? 2008 ms sql is not supported on my win 10, and MS SQL in general is such a pain. Nothing works, the configuration hangs my PC, every step requires extensive googling, and the software is bloated and complex.
So is it possible to use any other database?

You might look into SQLite. It is one of the smaller DB engines.

So you don't have to use specifically SQL Server? Any DB engine is possible? I am a web developer so I don't mind using MySQL.

It shouldn't matter. Based off of my limited knowledge of these analysis programs, they are only using the basic SQL calls and don't get into using DB engine specific commands. The SQL database is used because it is designed for a medical practice to manage several hundred patient profiles and it is not proprietary to any one software vendor.
Look at this way; The worst thing that can happen is it doesn't work.

I'm pretty sure SQLite won't be usable. It is an embeddable database rather than a client-server database engine.

Yes, SQLite wouldn't work, but SQL Server Express might.
