Online Databases

Hi,

Does anyone know of any good online databases
that aren't expensive but are reliable ?
that you can import databases from Ms Access ?

Thanks,
Have a Great Weekend everyone !!!
S/D

I won't have a great weekend - nobody likes me. I've even stopped talking to myself.

To translate puki code into realpeak...
"I won't have a great weekend " --
In essences of Anglish this means: Tray this SQL structured Database engine : http://www.mysql.org/ and of cource there is always the MS Jet Engine... a different approach would be located at: http://java-source.net/open-source/database-engines which lists many of the JAVA approaches.

and

"nobody likes me. I've even stopped talking to myself." --
In the alternate essences of puki Anglish means:
I have played with a few of the JAVA engines. In documentation and the ability to find SOMEONE that maight understand your problem I would choose JET since obviously you could import from Access with a click... as far as the JAVA versions are concerned: I think APACHE DERBY, or HYPERSONIC are tasty...

You see... with puki you must read between the lines

You need a host package with MySQL/MSSQL and sript support, and make a get to transfer data.

Converter can be found via google.

What I am wondering is if this could be plorked through blitz or BMax... I did some coding in college for a Database engine... Heck, aren't types essentially the raw framework for a database???

With the hosting sevice at softcomca.com (Canadian), you get a free mysql database hooked up to a linux server.

It's about $9.00 month - I have been with them (www.smartscreenuk.com) since 2001, never had a problem once.

IPete2.

What do you mean by "Online" database?

In any case PostgreSQL is probably your best bet for a database solution, commercial or otherwise.

1and1.com gets you 25 mysql databases with their cheapest (less than 3 dollars US per month) hosting account.

Hi,

Thanks everyone for your help !!!

Poor Puki ! - lol

FlameDuck : Online as in, say if we have a database
in MS Access, is there some service online that
you can transfer the data to it,and then people
who are located in different places can
change and view the data just as they would
if they were using Access ??

Anyway I will check out these sites.

Thanks again Blitzers !! :)

MS Access on the web - DON'T DO IT!!!!!! Seriously, it sucks big time. When your website starts to get used in any decent amount, it'll crash every 5 minutes. If you're using shared hosting, someone elses database will proabably crash the servers Jet Engine abilities and your website will not work as a result. I learnt the hard way and now use MySQL.

> DON'T DO IT!!!!!!

Heheh. :) I've used MS Access once, I found it really difficult to use actually.

PS I like you puki.

> DON'T DO IT!!!!!!


Considering the latest versions of Mysql and the free version of Sql Server I wouldn't even consider using access for anything. Come to think of it though, I never did consider using access for anything, but I am serious - don't use access now that far more scalable alternatives are easily available.

I would agree with Flameduck PostgreSQL is probably the best choice for features, stability etc.
