mysql and cost

[Anthony Lonero]

We have a client who would like to install a database on their site. Can anyone give me a idea what the cost should be in setting this up and for the applications. The applications will be a site search for all articles, review past newsletters, to keep track of a the votes casted by site visitors on various questions (yes or no)[nbsp]

The package listing here on FutureQuest shows the Gold package is the first one with a database: see http://www.futurequest.net/Packages.php

Past that, the cost to set it up is going to depend on who you have do the db/scripting work and how much code can be reused (whether free or for $$$) from other projects or tools.[nbsp][nbsp]There's a lot of difference in cost from "This is available and it's free but it's not EXACTLY what I want" to "This is exactly what I wanted, and now that I've given a programmer my house, car, dog, and kids, I only owe another years' salary on it and it'll be ready in late 2006." :)
