Switching from mySQL to MSSQL

Hello all,
I a have a dilemma on my hands. MY application uses mySQL, and everything woks great. I planned to list mysql server as a requirement for my application, so that I didn't have to worry about licensing issues with distribution (my app is commercial, not GPL). My app uses libmysql.dll to connect to the mysql database instance, which, come to find out, must be licensed to distribute as well says Oracle.

So:
I planned to switch everything over to MSSQL express, which is totally free to distribute and use in commercial applications. I am used to mySQL server, not MSSQL. Upon installing MSSQL server, I discovered it uses local authentication (Windows username and pass)... Is there a way to set up MSSQL server to function like mySQL server? ex: requiring my connection string to use username, pass, DB name, and table name? The DB is accessed by both my app and an IIS site runnign on the same server.

Does anyone know of any good tutorials or sample walkthroughs of building a vb.net app that connects to and uses MSSQL server?

Thanks so much guys

 

Switching from mySQL to MSSQL

Lol,
I have thought about stuff like that. BUT, for the purposes of streamlining the install process, if I switch to MSSQL, I can include the installer for MSSQL, and set up the database how it needs to be as it installs, instead of a preconfigured db to be set up before installign my app
