I am creating an application in Visual Basic 6.0 which will require a
centralised database server. All this while I had been planning to use
MS-Access. But then I found out that MS-Access is ok to be a desktop
rdbms but not for an enterprise level rdbms. So I am planning to use
MySQL as the backend for the application. What should be the minimum
system requirement to run the database on.
MySQL can run on almost nothing. The question is not what system you need,
but what performance you want. I think you *could* run MySQL on a P200,
Win 98, 128Mb ram, 40Mb disc. But the performance you would get would be
seriously disappointing.
You need to think what size of database you want, how many queries and
updates per second you will need, and how complex your queries will be.
Thanks for the response
I am planning to run it on a x205 series IBM Server which right now has
256 mb ram but will be upgraded to 1 gb. And the maximum number of
connections at any point of time will be say around 10
