Well is it more expensive to purchase a linux server or to purchase MS
SQL Server with enough client licenses and a server to run it. Face it,
if your database has outgrown Access, you'll have to spend some money.
And a linux server running PostgreSQL is a heckuva lot cheaper than a
Windows 2000 server running SQL Server.
