Which Database to Use?

[Rafool]

Hi,

I'm trying to start a new web site on a relatively large scale, with a giant listing of lots of info (>1,000,000 records), and lots of information within each record. I need it to be relatively powerful but not overboard. And it will have some e-commerce functions in them. I don't even know where to start; anyone have any recommendations for good web database backends? Oracle, SQL, J2EE, ASP, I'm getting lost among them!

Thanks.

Access can be installed only in the runtime version if you purchase the VisualStudio tools from MS. The footprint is much smaller and the enduser usually does not need to have the entire access or office for running your DB.

I however recommend another SQL engine that the JET, MySQL runs under windows and connects well with access.
