Be sure to add a little head room.Just to say I have 50,000 records doesn't mean anything, if that data is just a sku, a title and a price, its one thing, but add a long, and short description, location, handling etc and you could triple, quadruple or multiple by even greater numbers the size of that database.How about this? Grant, could Webcat handle the likes of Sears(big), Service Merchandise(medium), Circuit City or Lands End(small), complete with a users/password database, shipping, etc?If Service Merchandise isn't national then say a Wholesale buyers club.I believe it can go to the medium, but I just can't visualize the Sears solution. Maybe ya'll got more of a handle on what it takes than I do.
