I've worked (do work, whatever) on a large web hosting platform which
uses Oracle 9 and MySQL 4.1 for its database back-end, and there aren't
currently any real performance problems that I know of.

MySQL is (jihads notwithstanding) in the same bracket as MS SQL, not Access
(which is bugger all use for anything really, unless you're going to make
use of the out-of-the-box GUI for small office purposes)

Are you running everything on the same box, or is the database platform
a little more flexible?
