RE: Stear me in the right database direction
1. What is your intended application: web, desktop, single-user,
multi-user?
Desktop is what I have always done although Web would be interesting.
2. How many transactions per day do you expect?
After the intial data input maybe 100 lookups per day. Data would be
maybe one entry per week. The database would grow slowly after the
initial setup.
3. How many GB of data do you expect to add to the database in a year?
Initial database size about 50mb since I would probably store the jpg
files seperatly. Doubt the DB would ever exceed 500mb
4. What platform will you be running the database on?
If desktop then win xp
5. What platform will you be running the application on (depending on
the size,
this may or may not be the same as the database)?
I guess I would like to use Euphoria because I am familiar with it &
using sequences suits me.
A>Can I use EU to power a web based DB program.
B>Can I still use EU's DB format as again I am familiar with it.
C>If so I don't know how to do this, I have seen some stuff on using EU
as a CGI type script but dont have a clue how to go about setting this
up.
Thanks
