Which DB type for noodling
# help-with-other

Just for getting to grips with V14 would you use sqlite or sql server express?
m
SqlLite - you can easily delete the file if you need to test things from scratch
adds no extra steps to getting started either
Also https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/sql-server/sql-server-downloads there is a Developer version now which is closer to production SQL compared to express 🙂

I usually use sqlite for noodling 🙂

Ooh interesting!

Don't forget localDB as a halfway house between sqllite and sqlexpress

Often I move between my laptop and desktop and just clone down from github. Is it ok to un-ignore the sqlite (and the media folder)? It's what I usually do. Other than USync is there a better way?

That's fine, as long as you don't deploy from that repo to a live site 😅

*All the things - you know it's the way to go 😉 With a clever combination of the unattended install variables and uSync's first boot you would never even know.
(I have the unattended variables setup in my computers environmental variables and sometimes it just happens and I am surprised because I didn't even do anything.

erm 🤭 I do quick tests with Azure web apps this way but sure for a client site no
I'm using this for UmBootstrap and I am forever grateful to you and @AaronSadlerUK for suggesting it.
I will take a look thank @Kevin Jump

I do like the idea to add uSync, which gets you used to making sure you can always deploy if your side project suddenly seems like something you can actually go live with!

Just used uSync14 to migrate my local MediaWizards website (13.3.0) to Umbraco 14 worked like a charm 🙂 It is generally the first package I add these days.

Oooh that is impressive
