Question about My SQL

[hunterfs]

Want to know some high level info about MySQL from the community, need to select a database package for an application that will reside and function on one system; eventually moving to be accessed by multiple systems and possible to the web. Would MySQL be the right choice? The program to be developed is a non-financial scheduling type app.

Thanks in advance,
hunterfs

its definately worth a look without much info to go on (number of users, estimated table size, server spc, possible load, number of queries/sec) its a tad hard to say really.

Thanks for the info...I have yet to meet with the client about dat specs and such. What I do know is that the application is meant to be a game scheduling system for various levels of youth soccer. Estimated that approximately 10K entries for referee info (name, addr. phone, e-mail) and game information maybe another 8K-10K entires per year (date, time, location, teams, refs) would be a rough estimate.

oh thats weeeeeny, we run a db with approx 45 million records a year with no problems, the hardware is a basic one of these
