DB choice for small Intranet site

2008-03-16 Thread henry ho
Which DB would you choose (MSSQL Express / Apache Derby) for a small (4gb, with only 10 simultaneous connections) intranet CF App? I only used MS-SQL before, and I found the management studio very easy to work with. The only concern I have is the limitation of the Express version might get

Personally, I like MS SQL Express. The only thing is that it doesn't come with an agent, AFAIK, so you'll need to find another way to do backups. If you don't want limitations, I would go with MySQL, but I could never get used to it, as the management tools sucked. Some people suggested

The first thing that popped in my head was MySQL. Samll, light weight and faast. I have been using it on production sites (CF and PHP) since v 3.x and only had 2 beefs with it. I had couple table corruption errors a few years back which repair fixed nicely. The other was not being able to

I would go with MySQL and yes there are GUI's out there such as NaviCat, which I personally use, that rival Enterprise Manager and the Management suite. I also like the fact it isn't microsoft. It scales rather nicely so there are few to no limitations on it. It also has a fairly small memory
