Sure. But one of the biggest "real" problems many users face is scaling to handle the demands of a growing site and growing traffic. They often start out shared, move to dedicated, then move to having more than one server and probably don't want to throw out their DB layer and re-do it while they're already fighting those fires. Every big site started as a small site. Jeremy
