Mike,
I don't want to start an off-topic thread on this but #2 is poor advice if you don't
know what types of transactions are going to be
needed in the app. There is a reason Oracle is used by very large companies for very
large databases.
AFAIK neither of mSQL nor mySQL support transactions nor a host of other "real"
database features. I understand they are great for
dbs where, for the most part, all the users are doing is queries and not updates.
Also, while it makes sense that the missing features should make them quite fast there
is evidence to cast doubt on that (at least
for multi-user environments) here: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/tim20001112.php3
