If they have a single licence for Office 2000 or XP, this gives them the ability to use MSDE, which upsizes perfectly to SQL Server when the budget allows for it. Costs nothing, and you still use an NT based database...

In order to give your client the best service and room for expansion it would (in my opinion) be best to start with something like Access 2000 and upsize to MS SQL when the budget allows. We have supported very high traffic generating sites with a large volume of READ, UPDATE, DELETE functions. Upsizing to SQL has always been a breeze and clients save money. Alternatively hosting at a good company that already has the SQL setup and allows you full access would be good too. - Just some thoughts. - BILL - -----Original Message----- From: Ben Whalley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 9:31 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: alternatives to MS SQL Anything out there I should be looking at? A client of ours can't afford MSSQL but is loath to use free alternatives - no support, nasty interface etc. Came across PervasiveSQL - has anyone had any experience of this? Going to look at the developer tools etc but would appreciate any info people have Regards, Ben ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
