Well doggies...
>From all the excellent feedback on this issue of "real good cheaper
alternatives to SQL Server" it seems I must conclude that the central theme
is "There really aren't any real good cheaper alternatives"
The two major alternatives MySQL and PostgreSQL both seems to have fairly
significant short commings. However, I must say that the comparison article
of MySQL and PostgreSQL at
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20000705.php3?page=1
was excellent (all should read).
Of interest, none of you seem to be advocating SYBASE -- wonder why not.
Is it possibly because their web site is even more confusing than M$ site
-- just a bunch of mumbo jumbo that even this almost smartest retired
doggie on the planet couldn't figure out.

Bud,
Have you considered just asking some of the web hosting companies what they
are required to do as far as SQL Server licensing? I'll bet if you emailed
a
few of them they'd tell ya how they do it.
