     It might be a real project, but it has a feel of irreality. I can not tell if it is wishful thinking or just a homework project.

>Maybe they should run with the mauve db?

     Paulie, I am shocked, simply shocked at your poor advice.

     OP stated: 'Since the server may come with only 32GB of RAM, which SQL can run the "leanest" - that is, not a memory hog?'

     Remember: mauve has the most RAM, so it would not be appropriate here.
