You're completely right of course.. with "based on" I was referring to these
common ideas. For someone (original poster) that has perhaps no money to
spend - it could be some kind of experimental or charitive application he is
making, I tried to suggest the best path. Then, I think FF could be a free
alternative, and once there's some money, buy NexusDB and migrate. Since
these two (FF and NDB) are slightly similar, this should not be too much
work.
