Large amount of users, what dbase to use?

Post by p3x »

Hello,

Im about to make a system which is going to be used by about 10k people. They all have their own user/password entry in a database. My database of choice is normally MySQL or maybe PostrgreSQL.
At the most 200 users at the same time will access the database. Is this a problem for any of the mentioned databases?

thanks in advance

it isn't a problem for either, as long as they are set up correctly.

a proper database design

for eg, relationships can be easily established between multiple tables

Good database design
