I am looking to deploy a small database to use as a backend to index images stored on a optical drive. Very simple, just two tables and maybe about 100,000 records with a maximum of three users. Since my customer is a state agency budget is an issuse, so I was thinking of deploying the personal or lite version of Oracle.

I was wondering if this is feasible. A co-worker was thinking of using Microsoft Access (argh!) and creating an .MDB that was on a shared drive. Then maybe using VB to talk to it.

However, I would really like to not have to do it this way. Could I do something similiar by running one of the smaller, less expensive Oracle servers on a 95 or NT workstation and have the users query the database using Java and JDBC?

Please let me know the answer as soon as possible since they are awaiting purchase information.
