in thread DBD::SQLite - Standalone on webserver via FTP?

Understood and agreed, but since there's a 95+% chance that the server is either win32 or linux, I'd still go for it. IMO, it would be much more profitable to spend a little time getting SQLite to work than it would to spend the time re-coding its capabilities.

You make a good case, but I'd (obviously) try my way before giving up a real database for something lesser. (But that's just me.)

    Hmmm....

    Like you say I think it is a Linux box and I'd be tempted to try it if it was my own box, however its a ISP box and I suspect they might not like it. (what are the percentage chances of trying it killing the server?)

    DBD::AnyData alows me to write my code using SQL statements so if (or when) I manage to get SQLite access or perhaps MySQL transitioning will hopefully be fairly simple. (Just changing the handler calls?)

    At this stage it is just a prototype application I am writing so, performance is not a big issue. I would be interested in others opinions of the "just try it" idea.
