A Microsoft Access database wouldn't be much use on the nomic.net server, since it's Unix-based. Yes, there may be a Unix-based ODBC driver for an MSAccess database, but mySQL is already there and quite functional. Right now, inasmuch as my webpage is functional, it relies on both Dave's DB and my own. Theoretically each Minister could have eir own database and read access to Dave's, or alternately (and I think more simply) each Minister can have eir own tables in Dave's DB, and Dave's and others' tables can be made accessible to all. That can make for some rather complicated interconnectedness, but cross-table queries are far less work than querying separate DBs independently.
