Problem in choosing the DBMS

[Anon]

I've a problem in deciding as to which DBMS to use..I have a web site, wherein database is required for discussion forum. However, the no. of people using this forum will be limited (abt. 100 at max) and hence, the possibility of concurrent connections exceeding 15-20 looks bleak.

Could anyone give some information as to whether MS Access would perform well in this situation ?

Additionally, how easy will it be for me to change to MySql in future if need arises? I will be writing ASP scripts to access the database. How much effort would the migration to Mysql entail on the scripting part?

thanks,
Kunal

Either DBMS would probably be okay for the number of users you expect. Migration shouldn't be bad if you stick to ANSI Standard SQL. Here's a forum already written for you:
