Sorry if i am posting this in a irrelevant category.

I am going to use WWF and i am confused, which db should i use. I prefer MS Access because it is very easy to download, and for backup.

But if i think MS Access will trouble if i get more alot of discussions on my site. Can you tell me if i use access db today, when will i need to switch to mysql ? how much can access tolerate.

Please share ur views. Thanks

If your host can run mysql then I would opt for that. Access is OK but not as fast or as secure as the SQL option. Backing up an SQL database is no harder than Access

A lot depends on what server or webhost you are with
