MySQL Notes and Limitations

We offer MySQL database connections for a one-time setup fee of $30.

MySQL is an easy to use database that supports SQL (Structured Query Language) statements and easy connections using ODBC (Open Database Connectivity), Perl, PHP, or other methods. However, MySQL is limited to 500 - 1000 total external client connections by design. Since your MySQL connection is on a shared server with other sites, this may limit your connections at peak times. This is not under the control of Zillionbucks.com. If you have a high-volume site (hundreds of hits at a time) that uses database access, you may want to consider designing your site with access to a commercially sold database that supports thousands of connections at a time. For further information on MySQL connection limitations, please go to http://www.mysql.com/doc/T/o/Too_many_connections.html and read about this issue. Below is a quote from the MySQL site:

"The maximum number of connects MySQL is depending on how good the thread library is on a given platform. Linux or Solaris should be able to support 500-1000 simultaneous connections, depending on how much RAM you have and what your clients are doing."
