Multi-user access (was: number of substacks- practical limits)

You are mistaken.  MySql (or even better PostgreSQL) can be run with an 
ordinary, client version of Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, whatever.  You 
don't need a server edition operating system to run them.

It would be much better for the integrity of your data, and for 
performance, to rewrite as a database front-end and use PostgreSQL (or 
MySql) as a back-end.
