Different Databases
-
Hello! I'm currently working on a big project which uses a Microsoft Access database as the backend for storing data. This application is possibly going to be distributed commercially, so I need to know what is my best bet on what kind of database to use. With Access right now I can manipulate the database with a good level of control and ease of coding, but I'm sort of worried about the problems I might have distributing it, since people might not have Access drivers installed on their computers, or it might be painfully slow on slower computers. One of my biggest concerns is the speed of the database for a LARGE dataset, for instance north of 20,000 rows in one table, around 1,000 for two other tables. Can anyone point me to a nice comparison chart or lay down some information for different databases as far as concerns the speed, the overhead, the ease of installation on a user's machine? I would be very appreciative! Also, does anyone know a good place to start if I'm interested in creating a Visual C++ application which uses the MySQL database? Thanks in advance! Sincerely, Alexander Wiseman Est melior esse quam videri It is better to be than to seem
