If you want a serious database then you have to pay serious money. Look at
it this way.....for what you get SQL is good value for money. Oracle is
much more expensive. If you don't need a "serious" database then use
something like Access or Foxpro - it all depends on how much data and how
many requests are going to be made to it

Subject: OT: Cheaper Alternative to SQL Server 2000
Sorry about the OT post.
I was wondering if someone could give me some feedback on a cheaper
alternative to SQL Server. I am on a limited budget to create my own
webserver and I have only experience in developing with CF and SQL Server. I
really can't afford the $5,000 that Microsoft wants for SQL Server 2000.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks for your time
