so one of your questions is, if i may paraphrase, "what database manager should i use?"
i believe that you said that it has only eight hundred records? and it's only a single table? you can manage it manually with little trouble? and it's a low volume web site? pardon my sacrilege, but if that's correct, i would be tempted to merely keep it in a flat file and access it through my code. after decades in this profession, i firmly believe in simplicity. i'm not being flippant; the corereader configuration tables in my test environment contain thousands of records, and they are all in flat files. i've actually been considering converting coremodel to use flat files. however, if your data is subject to some growth, then perhaps a simple database manager like ms. access, to future-proof it. if you just want the fun of managing a database manager, then of course, mysql would work on your windows box. hope that i underestood the issue. > Hi, > Ok, I guess I was confusing everyone.
