Like you say I think it is a Linux box and I'd be tempted to try it if it was my own box, however its a ISP box and I suspect they might not like it. (what are the percentage chances of trying it killing the server?)

DBD::AnyData alows me to write my code using SQL statements so if (or when) I manage to get SQLite access or perhaps MySQL transitioning will hopefully be fairly simple. (Just changing the handler calls?)

At this stage it is just a prototype application I am writing so, performance is not a big issue. I would be interested in others opinions of the "just try it" idea.
