Re: Opinions about php4 and MS Access

MS Access is not the database to use with mulitble reads and writes, it hat no server task for handling i/o. You might use the same data structure on a Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) database. MSDE is a MS SQL server 70 compatible database and it is free -:) With MSDE you can use the MSSQL extension in PHP4. - Frank >I've got an upcoming client that currently uses an Access 2000 database. >They have spent all kinds of money (too bad for them) on creating a data >entry GUI for all of their employess to enter information into the database, >so I really don't have flexibility on which db to use. > >The server is going to be NT 4.
