You can use Access (database-file with tables included in the zip-file), the included file is an Access 97 database, but iy also works if you convert taht one to Access 2000.
You can also use Sql Server 6.5/7.0 or 2000 or Mysql (free !). You would just create an empty database and have the setup-script create the tables an defaultrecords for you.

That depends on how many messages/users you've got. The database starts with a couple of 100 Kb but the database here is > 50 MB by now.

Brad,
I did a Update Forumcount (that might explain why some of you had a troubles reaching the forums the last two or three minutes) and the current statistics are:
I don't know the exact size of the database, but we had some problems once because it was full (size was set to 50 MB) so that was why I said it was > 50 MB.
I would check it for you, but the tools I've got here don't show a database-size.

I thought the forums here were on SQL server?

They are, that is why I can't see how big the database is exactly (sorry, I see that I didn't say that before). We use Sql Server 7
