I know. That is why it was such a surprise to me. On the Control
Panel under Scripting and Add ons it clearly says "MS SQL Database"
and the way you set up the database is different than with the
typical MySQL database. I submitted a support ticket to ReadyHosting
and so far they have not been helpful. I am trying to get MS SQL
replaced with MySQL, but I doubt if they will do that.

a reference to MS SQL in any of the help files.
Readyhosting claims to use MySQL.
How did you decide they are using MS SQL instead?
