Well the data IS critical but NOT complex >Gerhard Häring >From what you have said Gerhard it seems that SQLite is probably upto the job, however MySQL or PostgreSQL will be more futureproof should I want to expand the datasets, functionality and online support is greater. As far as configuring the server being the main difference between SQLite and MySQL - well I have already configured a test MySQL server and that seemed easy enough. I think I have convinced myself that MySQL would be the best choice for this application. I rate MySQL over PostgreSQL for two reasons: 1) Googling PostgreSQL produced 52,700,000 hits, Googling MySQL produced 397,000,000 hits 2) I've already bought a book about MySQL .... ;-) Thanks again -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Most-appropriate-Web-based-database-%28Newbie%29-t1404628.html#a3782823 Sent from the SQLite forum at Nabble.com.
