SQL Server or Sharepoint?

[Nurse Nancy]

Thanks John,
I will test this out next week and let you know..
Is splitting the database a viable option, or is that what was done before
sharepoint was built?

Splitting the database IS NOT a viable option for wide-area networks.

First choice: use Citrix or Windows Terminal Server to give users a remote
terminal to log on to a central server containing a split database. Each user
would have a private folder with their own copy of the frontend.

Second choice: use SQL/Server as the backend. If you have a corporate SQL
instance talk to your DBA.

Third choice: Sharepoint. New, limited (no referential integrity), and I have
no direct experience with it.
