MySQL vs. Access

Which should I use? And is MySQL free? Does it need special software to run?
Advantages/disadvantages? And how difficult is it to move everything over
from access to mySQL?

Hi Jordan,

There are quite a few opinions on this. You can check out a good number of
them here (watch the wrap):

Thats great... I didn't realize google kept feeds of newsgroups... It looks

On a subnote, a lot of the posts from there say that access is fine for
small sites and stuff. Does anyone know the limitations, how many
connections, size, and stuff?

There is a lot of debate on this. Urban lengend is that officially it is
supposed to support up to 256 simulateous connections, but there have been
reports of it starting to have problems as low as 10 simulateous
connections.

And I have seen it corrupt data with two simultaneous writes.
