MenuWhat is a good starter database software for a small business?
I am on a very tight budget and would prefer a one off payment, and not be tied to subscription services
Answers
Linux + MariaDB (Fast MySQL).
Enterprise level throughput + scalability.
Cost == $0.
Well, cost included with whatever hosting you're using.
I run a private hosting company. Some of my machines are running 250,000+ uniques/hour + have been for months.
MariaDB can handle whatever load you throw at it...
Well... so long as your coders know how to write high speed code.
Most coders are clueless about this.
Tip: Pay for expensive developers up front + you'll save huge amounts of money avoiding rewrites.
We are just migrating from Insightly to Agilecrm.com. Take a look - it's fully featured and very good value. We are using it to replace Mailchimp and Campaign Monitor and FeedBlitz for some of our clients.
This is CRM database software - so may not suit your needs. But it's subscription; BUT it's low cost subscription.

Is there demand for a service that sells database of contact information of varied sectors and geographies? If so, how do I market this product?
There are a lot of players in this market. Many that integrate with all the major CRMs and append and clean data. I would say I get at least 1 email a day from a data vendor and I have been on countless demos and calls and because my client is so niche they never have more 5-10 records even viable for me. I am sure for larger companies with broader markets this works well. They all tend to have very aggressive sales outreach. I have one company that has called me every 3 months for the past 2 years. At this point hes basically just asking about my health and the weather :)Nicole PereiraNP

Licensing points of interest database vs. creating your own when creating a mobile app MVP?
Using Google Places API and storing the results in your own database likely violates the terms of service. Likewise, you are limited to the number of calls per day to the API. If you expect users to appreciate (and pay for) the software you are generating, you should do likewise. Go with the licenced database.Bill McEvoyBM

What is the pricing of bundled residential real estate data for USA, California (transactions, date of sale, price of sale, MLS pictures)
In my experience, this data has been at no cost. Most property appraiser sites offer sales data as an excel file for download. Each property can be looked at with exterior photos, or base floor plans. It would take quite alot of dara entry to input into a program, the issue would be the accuracy, if properties change hands within a year. Hope this helps! Warm Regards, MargieMargie KubicekMK

What is the easiest way to store log-in and customer information obtained from our company website?
Well you should store it in a database, most probably an SQL based database. MySQL is a fine start, free and easy to set up. But, you had best start thinking about security issues, especially if you are planning on storing credit card and other personal information. Hackers go right through the standard fare and many companies do nothing to encrypt their data at all, which in some countries is a criminal offense. Best hire a professional to look at your system setup and see what can be done.Stanislov KrapivnikSK
