If you are looking for something similar to the last two I have what I
believe to be a complete list of free and freely deployable "heavy
duty" databases at <http://database.profectus.com.au>.

How come Access is not in the list there? Access can handle up to
10 or 20 connections concurrently with little problem (personally
tested, although MS states up to 2^8 concurrent connections).

It's a very effective relational database, Lavasoft uses it in their
"Lavasoft Personal Firewall" to log events.

<shrug> It works great for connecting to other databases,
including Excel files, text files (.cvs, .xml, et al).

.mdb files can be deployed with any application without paying any
extra moneys for special licensing. The .mdb though requires a
Microsoft Windows OS, so Microsoft gets their money through the
sales of the operating system.

And you don't see this as a problem?


Curious...
