Hi Guys,

I see there is an option on my Mega deal to upgrade to an "Extra mySQL" database. Could I have some more info on it please?

Other questions would be is mySQL a standard in the web database market, I'm really asking whats the difference between this and MSSQL?

Can one database do all for the site, say I have a forum and a news part and something or other (not heavy usage on any of them) would one database do them all or would I need one for each.

At the end of my "mega deal" year I expect to upgrade to the "Power" hosting package, is there any forseeable problems?

Thanks
B.
