Hi All,
I have a number of small clients who mostly have very basic Cold Fusion
driven sites. I have a potential new client (a Deli) who has corporate
customers that want to have access his menus and place orders online. He
does not yet want full blown e-commerce with CC transactions but does want
to allow about 1,000 users into the site to place orders on a daily basis.
For my smaller sites I have used Access 2000 and have not had problems. With
this new client I have concerns regarding concurrent hits to the DB to pull
menu items and to capture and archive orders. Most things I have read state
that Access 97 is not to be used for even moderate traffic sites, but I have
seen claims by MicroSoft that Access 2000 is more robust. Is this just hype?
Should my menus, order info, and security all be kept in separate databases?
If anyone has any other advice based on my scenario I'd love to hear it.
