That assumes a lot :) My needs are simple. I'm exploring. My only real
db is a collection of 5,000 quotations, book passages etc. Flat file
would probably even do it. But I like to learn. Converted to sqlite
with no problem. But I'll try Postgres, just for fun. I guess I was
drawn to MySQL only because it's part of a WordPress site/blog I
operate, and the conversion tools from Access to MySQL were a snap.

This never occurred to me. Good idea! I'll explore.

What's IIS?
