Re: Online database....how?

You can get database hosting from hundreds of places on the net. This user would actually do better to avoid a mvDBMS and go with any of the dozen or so frontline plain-jane 2d databases for these reasons:

    They would be better able to find excellent books on a regular database

    More likely to find coworkers or friends to help learn a two dimensional database

    More likely to find a job where they could transfer skills if they picked one of the larger database platforms

    They are tied to your monolopy on hosting if they pick mvDBMS (you said yourself your the only one)
