I'm using MySQL. It runs really well in a tiny amount of memory. Not sure about '98, but doubt that there will be any problem.

Thanks Barton ,

How about msaccess bcoz no need of separate installation like mysql
In mysql you have to set separately

If access is free and easy to use, I don't see why not. Personally, I use as little M$ software as posible. Besides the OS, almost everything on my system is open source. My degugger, develpment environment, OpenOffice and even OE spell checker; all free. I (maybe foolishly) still pay for virus scanner and I bought some stuff from Software995, but that's it.

Did I mention that MySQL has a tiny footprint. It's half the size of explorer on XP (about 14MB). I'd be interested to know what an Access DB uses (memory wise).

I got inside am mssql server machine the other day. It turns out to be only slightly larger than MySQL server.

Very interesting, I wrote a question on BDE in the experts forum, lets see how these all relate.
