Another consideration besides the number of records is how complex is your data. If the application doesn't need to have relational capablities and size is of the essence, then take a look at the pickle or shelve modules. This may serve your needs.
If relational capabilities are required and MS Access is already installed, then it would be OK from my experience with a small(100K records max) database with up to 2 users connected simultaneously. Beyond that, goto MySQL. I cannot stress enough, before coding; always ALWAYS define your data structures FIRST. Been there, done that, got the scars to prove it.

Can you please recommend which database is the best for that. I use Windows. Maybe MS Access or FoxPro or MySQL or better? I want to keep the program as small as possible.
