I work with Grimster, and I use perl for most of my db work right now using flat files ( low use, low volume db's )..
What we are running into is that the boss and one of the other designer's is wanting to use access because the believe it will automatically produce the html and queries for them.
We've already told them we would rather use PHP / mySQL or even ASP / PERL / PHP mySQL. Anything but a pure M$ Solution.
But, we have to have facts that back it up, I guess our opinion isn't enough to sway our leader, even though it is our job to tell them what the right choice would be.
I've been looking for resources that compare Access to mySQL or any of the *ux sql servers. We need Benchmarks, Usage Stats etc to show the boss.
