PostgreSQL could work fine, make sure you have your application setup to vacuum the database every so often.

If you're doing very simple SQL work, then SQLLite might be a good choice. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
