Thanks for reading this.
I need some advice from the experienced, I'm creating a site that will sell things - the catalog will have about 100 items and there could be 1000 hits a month. Should I use Access or MySql as the database. I have not used MySql before - but have noticed several gui interfaces, are these recomended and which is the quickest to learn. Can I access MySql with asp of do I need to use something else.
One last question - can you recommend a reliable and fast host in the UK.

Thanks for your advice
Lee

If you're planning to make pages in ASP then you should better use Access. MySQL is better DB solution but it's ment to work with PHP.
If you can, use ASP with SQL Server or PHP with MySQL.
