Yeah, I know MySQL can handle some big tasks, my statement was more
about manageability.<br>
If your a small shop with one guy doing everything your gonna use what
is easy to implement and/or cheap.<br>
With our DB needs mostly being met by Access 2003, the only need for a
DB server is to support eGroupware.<br>
I think it's actually a pretty good statement about MySQL, that the
one-man-IT-dept. can use it and call it easy, and Wikipedia can use it
to handle 8.4Gb. The truth be told, I wouldn't shy away from MySQL if
our needs grow to require a business critical DB backend. I would
definetely make sure I had good support for it though, but that goes
for anything.<br>

<pre wrap="">So... nothing bigger than the 8.4Gb Wikipedia is managing?
Good to know.
