Glad your in for the project.

These are some of the issues we need to decide, first. Are we even going to use a database? As in, do we want a finished project that requires mySQL or postGres to be installed, or would we prefer CSV (Comma Separated Values) files? If we want a cross platform product (and that's what this is, if we were a real company), we need to know what users are willing to install to run the product.

mySQL is free for Linux, but as I seem to recall, requires a license fee for NT (this may have changed. I can't get to the tcx.se site at the moment).

But in any case, you're definitely correct. If we don't do the design correctly from the start, it could rapidly come back to haunt us.
