I have just bought an extremely cheap web hosting package on a LAMP server somewhere in the USA. After modifying my DNS settings, it works very well indeed.

However, the hosting company does not offer MySQL support on this package. They are running PHP 4.x. They don't really want to add SQLite as an extension, although I am trying to persuade them.

Is there another database-type system I can use? I don't particularly want to use flat files since they're quite slow for access, don't offer concurrency and can get quite large over time.

I'll be interested in porting a simple CMS and shopping cart I have made.

Thanks in advance,

James
