>From what you describe, I have to wonder if a database is even truly appropriate for the situation at all. How large is the data set in question? If it's very small, save for actual image data (which could be stored as files) the question becomes how often and under what circumstances the data will *change* If it's relatively fixed then why not hard-code it in an include file (or encode it as XML and slurp it in via whatever nifty mechanism ASP provides for doing so)?
Assuming that a database is the appropriate solution here then MySQL should be just fine. -JF > -----Original Message----- > From: GREG BARBER [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 7:21 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: Is mySQL right for me?? > > > Hi All, > > I want to create a small database that allows a user to > populate a report by > choosing many different parameters whcih are linked to a > variety of images > and text entries.
