In my experience it is best to try to stick with some main-stream options. In order to give your client the best service and room for expansion it would (in my opinion) be best to start with something like Access 2000 and upsize to MS SQL when the budget allows.
We have supported very high traffic generating sites with a large volume of READ, UPDATE, DELETE functions. Upsizing to SQL has always been a breeze and clients save money. Alternatively hosting at a good company that already has the SQL setup and allows you full access would be good too. - Just some thoughts. - BILL - -----Original Message----- From: Ben Whalley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 9:31 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: alternatives to MS SQL Anything out there I should be looking at? A client of ours can't afford MSSQL but is loath to use free alternatives - no support, nasty interface etc. Came across PervasiveSQL - has anyone had any experience of this? Going to look at the developer tools etc but would appreciate any info people have Regards, Ben ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
