Re: AnyDBM and ASP

[Ben Wheeler]

I think you have chosen mutually incompatible solutions. If your teammates are going to use Access, I think you will have to as well :( -- either that or get new team mates (I'm not sure which method is to be prefered). If simultaneous reads and writes are going to be likely, then Access is going to be completely inadequate. That sort of heavy traffic is going to result in databases that are too large to be tractable in Access, anyway. Given that, why don't you suggest SQL Server to them. Then you can program with dbi and they can use ASP and nobody will care what code you or your team mates write.
