MySQL is the easiest option. For one thing it is so much easier to set up than an ODBC datasource. Just follow the MySQL tutorial on www.trustabyss.com and you are away.
You should have MySQL up and running in no time at all (about 5 mins to be precise!) _________________ Andy (AbyssUnderground) (previously The Inquisitor)

it all depends on how many users you expect to be on at any one time. ODBc, Access or Oracle is better for small forums where you think very few people will be on at the same time. however, if you think a lot of people are going to be on at the same time, then use MySQL. |
