First I built this database thing (that I keep talking about). It was basically an access thing sat on a slowish webserver and it was talked to by a bunch of asp scripts. This was fine when there was 3 records in the database and one person was using it. However, it's now got around 280,000 records and about 5 people using it. So we talked to some very nice people who moved the entire thing onto a SQL server. A rather quick and expensive SQL server (think quad xeon with 2.5Gb memory)
