Re: Database Server Requirements

From the newsgroups you've posted to, you already seem biased towards a microsoft solution. There are plenty of other servers available, some even open source providing excellent performance (mysql) and programming interface (postgresql).

For a quick and dirty benchmark of many servers side-by-side, I suggest visiting web.mysql.com/info.html. Beware to take these figures with a grain of salt, performance often depends on the sysadmin and programmer.
