1) Is the data entered once and than mostly read access or is it frequently updated ?
It's entered once but mostly(almost ALL 99%) read access.
2) Do you need transaction support ?
No
3) Do you need the data to be EASY transferable between different OS (MAC/WIN/Unix/Linux) ?
No
How did I do that? I'm using this hotmail account which is acting really strange to begin with and I've posted any message directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] If that posts to someone else's thread ???? That's weired, I can't even GET any threads other then my own on this account. I thought I would actually try filling up MS mail servers with this list instead of my own but it looks like I only get my own threads and they come via user email not mysql@lists.mysql.com so If that happened I appologize and will be more then happy to just dump this account if it happens this time.BTW: You posted into somebody elses thread (which is not polite). I suggest you think about the above questions and start a new topic again.
4> basically the main thing in the application is password authentication then when the user is authorized their homepage is but from a handfull of variables from the database.
Sorry to offend if this steps into someones thread, let me know if it does.
Best Regards and thanks for the reply

Hello there,
no offence but that questions is not answerable. I wouldnt expect many replies. Let me try to help you out by asking YOU a few questions which might point you into the correct direction:
1) Is the data entered once and than mostly read access or is it frequently updated ?
2) Do you need transaction support ?
3) Do you need the data to be EASY transferable between different OS (MAC/WIN/Unix/Linux) ?
BTW: You posted into somebody elses thread (which is not polite). I suggest you think about the above questions and start a new topic again.
Best regards
