Are there any good CMS, like Drupal, e.g. which support MSSQL database?

1. I've tried Geeklog, which has support for MSSQL, but I think (the first impression) Geeklog is not as customisable as Drupal.

2. Joomla is too big... and is there a stable version with MSSQL support?

3. Drupal... as far as I can get from their forums, MSSQL support is still in very early testing stage..

4. Something else?

Thanks

You can actually pretty easily use Wordpress as a CMS with just a few modifications and plug-ins.

I'd also suggest looking at WordPress.

Most of the open-source CMS products tend to be very large, and very difficult to manage.

What does MySQL not do that MSSQL does??

Not crash randomly.

I also vote Worldpress. Suck out the content via RSS and format it however you like.

Honorable mention: Joomla!

I think you should be checking out your system. I have never experienced MySQL crashing in my 5 years of web development.

Why do you think so many millions and millions of web sites use MySQL.....becuase its secure, reliable and free!

Heh. Read again. "What does MySQL not do that MSSQL does??" MySQL does not crash randomly, like MSSQL does.

I started working with MODx this week, and its pretty easy and flexible. I am having a hard time, but thats cause I dont know wth I am doing, but even i have been fumbling through making some good progress.

MODx Content Management System | Home

It doesnt support MSSQL tho...

Another vote for Wordpress.

The latest version just came out and it looks like they are aiming to make it into a cms down the line.

You can put in static front pages now, easy integration with a few shop plugins etc.

Funnily enough, I haven't experienced an MSSQL crash, either.

At any rate, I also vote Wordpress. It's a very nice CMS.

In other choices: Community Server is created using MSSQL and .NET, and while not open-source, it has free versions available. There's also SubText, which is open-source; however, I didn't use it enough to tell you whether it's good or bad.

I don't know if I'd refer to WordPress as a full fledged CMS......

Take a look at CMS Made Simple. It's open source (free!) and should have support for MSSQL.

You might want to take a look at dotnetnuke. I've used it in the past with good results.
