Hmm. You could run that pretty well using a straight text file on an 8 bit computer. ;) If you want scalability for the future, I still think mysql is the best option. Be lucky, Neil http://www.the-workathome.com ...hm..I should install myodbc and use it to remotly request the db server? Be strong, be wrong :) Laurent

So I might have Mysql or you would recommend something else ? And then instal BDB to experiment. I searched google for info about configuring a server only for database but did not find anything relevent. Where should I look? Sorry to double post Laurent

My choice would be mysql. It's used for one of the largest databases on the planet - s...@home. ;) Be lucky, Neil http://www.wwseti.us
[gentoo-user] Database only server
Hi, I'm looking for some information about the configuration for a server used only for a huge database. I guess dépendanding on which database server used Mysql or Berkley the hardware should not be same. Or is it all about having a lot of RAM ? Could I do that using only Mysql or is it possible to have Mysql and Berkley, or should I have just Berkley ... ? Happy new year!! Laurent
