This is what I got. She likes blanco.

Access or FileMaker I guess. Why do this on a desktop? It's for just a single user?

Yes. Doesn't have to be on a desktop. Talk to me.

No, they are rarely recommended except for getting integrated support. In almost any situation where you would be in a position to choose, you'd choose consumer.

But only if behind a RAID controller with cache though, right?

Still would always recommend enterprise level SSDs for servers though, right?

I call it a desktop database.

Paradox and Access are the two I think of.

We are a MS shop, so perhaps Access?

Well, most of the database stuff I do involves manipulating mailing lists.

Often have to do n-th selects, compare lists, do matching queries, keep track of data for mailing, merge CSV files into mailing lists, things like that.

Simple.

@Dashrender

Well in my defense, the SMB options weren't as good a few years ago.

I have been using Paradox 7 for many, many years.

Still works fine, does what I need. Though recently it has been crashing a lot, I think because I now have more than 4GB of RAM on my desktop.

I do a lot of simple DB stuff, n-th selecting, etc..

I'm looking for a modern product that has a nice online support group, either here or elsewhere. Something that can natively read Paradox files would be awesome.

Suggestions?

Pretty sure it was clear, BTW.

I think what you're looking for is called Scotch.

LOL.

Well, my neighbor came over recently.

She brought a bottle of tequila, and drank it over ice.

I am looking to buy something to have for her the next time. That is what I am looking for.

And holy cow .... there are like 15 more option there now.

Nice $1 add-on!

That would depend on the same factors as if you didn't have a RAID controller. Enterprise class drives are about support and write lifespans. That you have RAID or do not have RAID does not affect that in a significant way.

The manufacturers always seem to harp on the power circuitry.

Perhaps for desktops?

@scottalanmiller said:

I am not of the belief that there is any tequila like this

LOL, what does that mean?

What is a good tequila you can pour into a glass with rocks and drink?

I'm not talking swill to mix into a drink. or stuff that is so pricey to be out of touch.

Just a reasonable choice for a neighboring lady who drinks tequila.

Thanks!

So, I have a couple domains on EO1.

I tried migrating one today, worked like a charm.

I think they've lifted some of the restrictions, maybe.

If you have an SSD behind a RAID controller, do you need Enterprise class then?

Where does the "power loss circuitry" in an enterpise class SSD fall into this?

P.S. I am assuming the H710 (512MB) has a battery?

So once the system (aka the motherboard) sends it to the controller, it assumes it has been written.

So if it never hits the controller, it's like it never happened?
