Before you start getting stuck with MySQL you should read http://sql-info.de/mysql/gotchas.html. You'd be much better off with a database that's actually standards compliant. Probably the best bet would be to offer support for SQLite and PostgreSQL. That allows small users to have the 0 maintenance of SQLite while big users get the scaleability of PostgreSQL. -- Jim C.
