Default Questions on SQL Server

John,

I am looking for a database that can handle at least 20GB (or between 20GB
and 100GB). As I mentioned in my previous message, I have a very limited
budget to create that database. Unfortunately, Access nor SQL Server Express
would not do the job due to their size limitations.

What would you suggest? Thanks.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your response.

As far as number of users, I will the only user; however, the data will be
at least 10GB before expansion.

I will use it for personal. Therefore, I have a very limited budget.

Unfortunately, Access nor SQL Express would not do the job due to size of
data.


It does have some real problems and limitations, but you might want to
consider MySQL. Access can work as a frontend to it, and the price is right.
