Good morning Developers. I have a question that's been bothering me for a long time. I have developed a windows application for School Management using Vb. Net and Ms access as the database. Currently, the system runs effectively in a LAN. Now, the school has plans to extend the Network access from just being Local to a broader scope. I have seen the need to change the Database from Ms Access to a more portable Database. There are only two options in my head(MYSQL & SQL Server). I am not sure on which to use as I have done quite some research on Google but I am not satisfied. Both database systems are great but I need to use the one that meets the school requirements. Some of the requirements are, easy access to the System from any location via internet or any other means.. I am sorry if I haven't asked rightly but please your suggestions are Invaluable..

Since you are using VB.NET, I suggest you go for SQL Server.
